Watch Mike Shinoda & Sum 41 perform Linkin Park’s “Faint”

MIke Shinoda since the passing of his Linkin Park bandmate Chester Bennington has been active musically releasing a very moving EP earlier this year and hitting the road againg, including a high-profile set this past week in the UK with Reading + Leeds Festival. PIQNIQ alums and all-around awesome dudes Sum41 were on the same bill, so why not have Shinoda join them on stage for a rousing cover of the LP favorite ‘Faint’!?

During Shinoda’s solo set earlier in the day, the entire massive crowd joined him to send love to Chester’s memory singing ‘In The End’. This video below shows Shinoda reaching out those dealing with the similar issues that Chester faced in mental health.
