(UTV|UNITED STATES) – Linkin Park dedicated their win at the American Music Awards (AMAs) to former lead singer Chester Bennington.
Guitarist Mike Shinoda said the trophy was for “His memory, his talent, his sense of humour, to his joy.”
Chester Bennington, 41, was found dead at his home in California in July. A coroner said the star apparently hanged himself.
“All of you tonight, whether you’re a fan or an artist, I want you to take a moment to appreciate what you’ve got and make Chester proud,” Mike Shinoda added.
The band picked up the favourite artist in the alternative rock category gong at Sunday night’s (19) awards.
Linkin Park recently announced they’ll release an album in December. The songs featured will be from live recordings from the band’s One More Light tour.
