It's been almost two months since Chester Bennington died.

News of the Linkin Park singer's passing shocked and saddened the world, with friends, family and fans coming together to grieve. Outpourings of love and sadness flooded the internet as people came to terms with the fact that a man beloved by many was no longer here. Tributes came in many forms, from fans sharing personal stories about what Chester and his music meant to them, to Chris Martin covering 'Crawling' at a recent Coldplay gig. Steve Aoki, friend and collaborator with Chester, released his own tribute to the singer, a special remix of two songs he created with Linkin Park, 'Darker Than Blood' and 'The Light That Never Comes', entitled 'Darker Than The Light That Never Bleeds'. You can stream the song through Spotify and Apple Music. Aoki took to Twitter to announce the track, posting a heartfelt tribute to his friend. "Chester Bennington was my favourite singer of all time," the DJ and producer posted. "I feel so incredibly honored to not only have worked with him on these two songs, but am so deeply touched to have gotten to know him as a friend." https://twitter.com/steveaoki/status/906005909242916864

"I'm still shattered by this tragic loss. It's hard to realize that he is not coming back. Chester was such an invaluable human being that bled out the pain and passion through Linkin Park, touching so many peoples lives. "He helped so many people that have felt these similar feelings around the world scream out and feel like they are not alone. Life can be incredibly trying and tough. Nothing can bring more consolation than knowing that there are others going through this same pain. "Chester was such a beautiful human being. I will never forget our conversations and moments shared together in the studio, on the stage, and in life. We now have Chester in our hearts and minds forever. "Keep his inspiration and passion alive and play Linkin Park fucking loud. Scream the lyrics fucking loud. Live in these moments fucking loud. I miss you dear friend. You are in our hearts and minds forever. Chester Forever."

Proceeds from the single will go to Music For Relief's One More Light fund, the charity co-founded by Chester and the members of Linkin Park. The One More Light fund was set up in Chester's memory, and you can donate here.
