Bennington had dedicated his singing of “One More Light” to his late friend Chris Cornell. “We were going to come out and play ‘Heavy’ first, but in light of our dear friend Chris Cornell passing away, we decided to play our song ‘One More Light’ in honor of him to start this off. We love you, Chris,” said Bennington.
