All Members of the rock band Linkin Park devoted their
Favourite Artist - Alternative Rock win at the American Music Awards (AMAs) to
late frontman Chester Bennington.
The "What I've Done" hitmakers bagged the award at
the ceremony here on Sunday, and paid tribute to Bennington, who took his own
life in July 2017, aged 41, reports a portal.
Linkin Park singer Mike Shinoda revealed, "We want to
dedicate this award to him, to his memory, to his talent, to his sense of
humour, to his joy. And remember, you guys, all of you tonight, whether you're
a fan or an artist - I want you guys to take a moment to appreciate what you've
got. And make Chester proud."
The band members also took to their Twitter account to thank
their fans for voting for them in the category.
They posted, "Thank you to our fans for all of your
support and for voting for us at this year's AMAs. We took home Favourite

much. Take a moment to appreciate the people you love and make Chester proud
