Linkin Park to honor Chester Bennington in band's first concert since his death

The performance will feature a number of other artists, according to a press release.

Its been two months since Chester passed away.

There have literally been tributes all over the world for two straight months….

The guys and Chesters family were deeply moved by all this stuff.

Shinoda indicated that the decision to move forward with the tribute concert took some encouragement.

I had gone to Rick Rubin as a source of guidance, the musician explained.

He had said, I think you guys need to get on stage.

I think thatll be the thing thatll feel good.

Itll be super, super hard.

We havent gone out together in public, we havent played we havent gone on stage.

He said, The fans want to see you.

Shinoda also touched on Benningtons death by suicide.

We now find ourselves on the receiving end.

We are so very grateful and cant wait to see you again.

The right music to the right person is so powerful, McIlrath told EW when memorializing Bennington.
