Mike Shinoda paid tribute to his late bandmate Chester Bennington at his first solo concert since the singer's death.



The Linkin Park musician performed songs from his forthcoming EP, 'Post Traumatic', at KROQ's Weenie Roast festival at the StubHub Center in California, where he also played a piano-led version of the band's seminal songs 'Hybrid Theory' and 'In the End' in Chester's honour.



'Place To Start' on Mike's three-track EP helped him cope with the grief of losing his best friend and bandmate, so it was no doubt an emotional performance.



Speaking previously about the R&B track, he said: "I wanted to put this out as soon as possible because I'm living it.



"And a lot of other people are living it, too."



His set was his first proper performance since the band's frontman took his own life last July, aged just 41.
