To close out his set at V Festival in the UK, JAY-Z performed "Numb/Encore" in honor of Chester Bennington. Bennington passed away earlier in the summer and worked with JAY-Z for the album Collision Course.
According to Metro, JAY-Z asked the crowd to make some noise for Chester, "so he can hear you in heaven."
JAY-Z also performed most of 4:44 during his main stage set. You can see clips of his tribute to Chester Bennington above and below.
