Coldplay kicked off the North American leg of their tour last night, performing in New Jersey's MetLife stadium. During the show, lead singer Chris Martin took time out to pay tribute to the late Chester Bennington and perform a cover of Linkin Park's Crawling.

 

Mike Shinoda approved of the tribute, posting a thank you message on Instagram.
