Chester Bennington Sang Heartbreaking Tribute At Chris Cornell's Funeral

Chester Bennington, who tragically died yesterday, sang a heartbreaking version of Hallelujah at Chris Cornell's funeral earlier this year.

The Linkin Park frontman was found dead at his home in Los Angeles, with police saying the 41-year-old had hanged himself.

Cornell took his own life in a hotel bathroom in May, just hours after performing with his band - Soundgarden.

The singers had a close friendship and, following Cornell's death, Bennington shared a long post on social media as a tribute to his mate. The post thanked him for allowing him to be a part of his life and for being an inspiration.

He was also asked to play a part at Cornell's funeral, giving a speech and performing a song.
