Video: Jay-Z pays tribute to Linkin Park's Chester Bennington with 'Numb/Encore' performance

Jay-Z paid tribute to Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington in his first show since the singer passed away by performing their “Numb/Encore” collab at England’s V Festival.

Jay Z closed his set at V Festival over the weekend with a special performance, dedicated to the late Chester Bennington.

The ‘Empire State Of Mind’ rapper collaborated with Chester’s group Linkin Park on the genre-crossing EP ‘Collision Course’ in 2004, spawning the Grammy-winning single ‘Numb/Encore’ .
During his performance at V Festival this weekend, Jay took a moment to pay tribute to the late singer, who died last month at the age of 41.
Before a performance of ‘Numb/Encore’, which closed his set, he told the crowd: “Can you guys light it up tonight for Chester?
“Please make some noise so he can hear you all the way in heaven tonight!”
Jay’s V Festival set marked the first time he’d performed ‘Numb/Encore’ live in six years, while he also gave new tracks like ‘The Story Of OJ’ and ‘Kill Jay Z’ their live debut at the festival.
