Coldplay's Cover of Linkin Park's 'Crawling' Is a Stunning Tribute to Chester Bennington
Coldplay's Chris Martin paid tribute to the late Chester Bennington with a chilling cover of Linkin Park's 2001 hit "Crawling" during a tour stop at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium on Tuesday night.
Bennington, 41, died of suicide on July 20 and was laid to rest in a private ceremony on July 29.
Seated at a piano, Martin emotionally performed a subdued rendition of the song from Linkin Park's debut album Hybrid Theory, a notable contrast to the original version of "Crawling," which won the GRAMMY for Best Hard Rock Performance 15 years ago. Watch Coldplay's tribute below:
