Chris Martin of Coldplay sings Linkin Park’s “Crawling” at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, Aug. 1.
In the first Coldplay concert since the July 20 suicide of Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington, frontman Chris Martin honored him by performing a solo version of the Linkin Park song, “Crawling,” Aug. 1 at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford. You can watch the performance below.
