Chester Bennington takes center stage on Linkin Park‘s song “Lost,” which was released six years after his tragic death.

The newly released song is a leftover from the group’s 2003 album Meteora, which featured hits such as “Numb” and “Faint.” The remaining members of the band will pay tribute to the LP’s 20th anniversary with a re-release later this year featuring previously unheard material.

“Lost” is the first taste of that and arrived on Friday (February 10).

Members of Linkin Park have paid tribute to the late Chester Bennington, one year after his tragic death.

“It has been a year since your passing—a surreal rotation of grief, heartbreak, refusal, and recognition. And yet it sill feels like you are close by, surrounding us with your memory and your light. Your one-of-a-kind spirit has authored an indelible imprint on our hearts—our jokes, our joy, and our tenderness,” the band wrote on Instagram. “Eternally grateful for the love, life, and creative passion you shared with us and the world. We miss you more than words can express.”

Chester passed away one year ago on July 20, 2017 from suicide. Our continued thoughts are with his loved ones during this time.

The late Linkin Park frontman’s autopsy showed that he had both alcohol and MDMA (ecstasy) in his system when he hanged himself, according to TMZ.

Authorities reportedly also found a prescription bottle of Zolpidem, or generic Ambien, on his dresser. There was also a pint glass of Corona, which was less than half full, and an empty bottle of Stella Artois.

There was no suicide note according to the report, but police found what they call an “apparent biography,” which was handwritten.

Chester sadly committed suicide in July of this year. For the full report, head to TMZ.com.
