The rapper and the rock band have a history together, having collaborated the aforementioned remix of Linkin Park’s “Numb” in 2004. The two acts produced a collaborative EP titled “Collision Course,” which included six tracks total that were mashups of songs by both artists. “Numb/Encore” was the first to be released from the album and got significant airplay.

“Let’s show some love for Chester tonight!” Jay-Z shouted after finishing the song.

Bennington committed suicide last month on what would  have been his dear friend Chris Cornell’s 56th birthday. Friends, fans and fellow musical artists have been paying tribute to the metal icon ever since. He left behind a wife and six children.
