In a moving tribute to two fallen musicians, the actor and musician Jared Leto honored the lives of Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Chester Bennington of Linkin Park at the MTV VMAs on Sunday. Cornell and Bennington committed suicide in 2017, and Leto was friends with both. "His name was Chester Bennington, and the band is Linkin Park." Leto added that MTV asked him to say a few words about Bennington and Cornell, who he described as "two artists that I had the absolute pleasure of touring with. They were close friends with one another -- Chester even singing the cover of the classic 'Hallelujah' at Chris’ funeral."
