On July 14, Linkin Park filmed an episode of Apple Music’s show “Carpool Karaoke.” Six days later, their frontman Chester Bennington died by suicide. The band have now shared the episode online, with approval from Bennington’s family. Ken Jeong hosted the episode, which found Bennington in the driver’s seat, joined by bandmates Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn in the backseat. They sang OutKast, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Aerosmith, as well as their own “Numb,” “In the End,” and “Talking to Myself.” Watch the episode below.

Just goes to show it's incredibly easy to mask depression. I do it on a daily basis.

I mean, yes. You thought they would actually drive on real roads? They could get pulled over, and I doubt insurance companies want the liability for accidents. Look at how animated Chester is while singing; he takes his hands off the wheel and his eyes off the road several times.

Eh I'm sure Chester was genuinely happy at that moment of time. Depressed people can have very high highs and very low lows. The lows can come abruptly and without warning.

My theory is that Chester had not planned to commit suicide at all, but that it was a spur of the moment reaction to the tremendous sadness he felt at the time which was due to it being Cornell's birthday.

They probably do it like TV shows/movies generally do it, which is having the car on a specialized towing rig that is being pulled by another vehicle.

This is actually great. Joe's kinda shy, but Chester and Mike were so into it. Not awkward like the Foo Fighters one.
