Run the Jewels Dedicate 'Kimmel' Set to Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington
By Evan Minsker.
Run the Jewels were the musical guests on last night’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” After performing their Run the Jewels 3 track “Panther Like a Panther” with Trina, Killer Mike and El-P took a moment to dedicate their performance to the late Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. They then did “Down” alongside Joi. Watch it all happen below. Run the Jewels join artists including Rihanna, Chance the Rapper, Pharrell, Hayley Williams, and others who have paid tribute to Bennington.
RTJ recently shared their new claymation “Don’t Get Captured” video, appeared alongside Big Boi in Danger Mouse’s “Chase Me” video, and were introduced by Jeremy Corbyn before their recent set at Glastonbury.
