Linkin Park's AMAs Tribute to Chester Bennington

Linkin Park's Chester Bennington died by suicide on July 20, and on Sunday, his band honored him at the American Music Awards in LA.

After nabbing the award for favorite alternative rock artist, Mike Shinoda took the opportunity to not only dedicate the award to Chester, but to give the audience an important life lesson: 

"Take a moment to appreciate what you've got," he said. "Make Chester proud."
