Chester and Brad perform at Chris Cornell's Funeral

[RogueSoul]

In case you missed the news last week, grunge legend and one of Chester's closest friends Chris Cornell tragically passed away last week. His funeral was held today, and both Brad and Chester attended, performing a stripped down and heartbreaking rendition of the late Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' - you can listen to a short snippet of it here.

 

Chris Cornell was less of a friend and more of a brother to Chester, so his loss comes as a major blow for him. Chester has already expressed his sorrow in a personal message he shared on Twitter, and let his emotions run on a super emotional performance of 'One More Light' at their Jimmy Kimmel Live show that left everyone who watched with a tear in their eye.

 

This performance of 'One More Light' goes down as one of the most emotional performances the band has ever done. A perfect goodbye.

 

This isn't the first "surprise" appearance Chester has made this year outside of Linkin Park. In addition to this, he gathered with a couple members of Papa Roach, POD, and Volbeat earlier this month when the band was in New York City and performed Janes' Addiction's 'Jane Says.'

 

Rest in peace, Chris Cornell. Our thoughts are still with everyone affected by this tragedy. We'll keep you updated on whether or not a full video of the performance appears or not - follow us on Twitter and Facebook for updates on it.

I don't want to be insensitive or take away from how painful this had to be for Chester... but I really hope we get to see the full song. I've always loved that song.

Do we have a show page for it and the surprise performance of Jane Says?

Not yet, I'll create them soon.
