| Chester Bennington was in good spirits, and singing his heart out less than a week before his death ... as seen in the Linkin Park Carpool Karaoke episode that just aired. |
All this after an funny if slightly awkward pre-singing banter session in which Jeong declares his fanhood and tries to weasel his way into the band, which he plans to rechristen as “LinKen Park.” “It feels like a real band already we’re already fighting,” he says.

Check out the full 23-minute episode above.
