(Video) JAY-Z Pays Tribute to Chester Bennington at V Festival
Backed by a 40-foot-tall, metallic Jeff Koons inflatable dog, Hov performed songs off his stellar 13th studio album 4:44 for the first time, including “The Story of O.J.” and “Family Feud” and “Smile.” In addition, JAY went down memory lane and performed fan-favorites like “Empire State of Mind,” and “Lucifer.”
But the highlight of the show was JAY-Z’s tribute to late Linkin Park member Chester Bennington, who committed suicide in July at the age of 41. JAY performed “Encore/Numb” from their 2004 collaborative EP, Collision Course.
