"We are incredibly saddened to hear about the passing of Chester Bennington," Live Nation, the tour's promoter, said in a statement Friday. "The Linkin Park One More Light North American Tour has been canceled and refunds are available at point of purchase. Our thoughts go out to all those affected." The band has not released an official statement following Bennington's death by suicide Thursday. Linkin Park, who recently wrapped a European tour, were scheduled to begin a North American leg in support of their chart-topping new LP One More Light starting June 27th in Mansfield, Massachusetts. The North American trek was scheduled to conclude October 22nd with a concert at Los Angeles' Staples Center.

Linkin Park & Friends Celebrate Life in Honor of Chester Bennington Tune in at 7:30 PM Los Angeles time to watch Linkin Park & Friends Celebrate Life in Honor of Chester Bennington [LIVE] on YouTube. In their first concert since the death of their lead singer three months ago, the surviving members of Linkin Park took the stage Friday night (Oct. 27) for a memorial concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Dubbed “Linkin Park & Friends Celebrate Life in Honor of Chester Bennington,” the show featured two dozen guest musicians -- from Blink-182, members of No Doubt and Steve Aoki, to surprise artists Alanis Morissette, Gavin Rossdale and Bebe Rexha. The concert was a joyful way to remember one of the music industry’s top vocal talents, and raise awareness for depression and suicide prevention through the One More Light Fund, an offshoot of Linkin Park’s charitable Music For Relief organization.
