September 21, 2017, 7 years ago
Avenged Sevenfold singer M. Shadows and guitarist Synyster Gates have been invited to perform with the surviving members of Linkin Park on October 27th at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California, in celebration of the life of Chester Bennington.
At the one-night-only celebration, Linkin Park will be joined by a number of other artists, for an unforgettable night of music to honor the man that touched the lives of so many around the world.
Public on-sale starts Friday, September 22nd at 10 AM, Los Angeles time on Ticketmaster.
Linkin Park’s official video for the album title track, "One More Light”, can be seen below. Initially, the song had not been scheduled as a single, but the strong connection with fans in the weeks following Bennington's passing brought the track to the forefront.
Directed by Linkin Park's Joe Hahn, and longtime band videographer, Mark Fiore, the video not only reflects on the memory of Chester, but also the camaraderie of the band, the people they work with, and the community that has given them strength.
"It has been incredibly emotional to work on this, and especially to watch it," says Joe Hahn. "I feel that by doing it, we not only faced some of our biggest fears, but it enabled us to use our talents to bring some light to people who need it. As we move forward to the Hollywood Bowl show and beyond, I think about the people who connect with the band, outside and inside our circle. This video is a gesture of good will to the people who want that connection."
"One More Light was written with the intention of sending love to those who lost someone. We now find ourselves on the receiving end," says Mike Shinoda. "In memorial events, art, videos, and images, fans all over the world have gravitated towards this song as their declaration of love and support for the band and the memory of our dear friend, Chester. We are so very grateful and can't wait to see you again."
