Linkin Park have shared a poignant video on social media remembering how late frontman Chester Bennington "made us laugh."

Originally shown on LPTV, the clip originates from 2008 and sees Chester perform a hilarious impromptu song called ‘Unicorns & Lollipops’ in Linkin Park's dressing as he and his bandmates countdown to take to the stage.

After belting out the song on his acoustic guitar, Chester then engages in a rap battle with Joe Hahn as they exit for the gig.

Sharing the video last night, Linkin Park wrote: “Cherishing all the times Chester made us laugh. Taking a look back at some of our favourite LPTV moments.”

The surviving members of Linkin Park are playing a tribute show in Chester’s honour at the Hollywood Bowl in California on Friday 27th October.

Guest performers on the night include Blink-182, Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes, Korn’s Jonathan Davis, Avenged Sevenfold’s M. Shadows and Synyster Gates, three members of System of a Down, Yellowcard singer William Ryan Key and Kiiara who collaborated with Linkin Park on ‘Heavy’.

Proceeds from the show will be going to Music For Relief’s One More Light Fund in memory of Chester
