Linkin Park’s Twitter account posted a photo of Bennington with bandmates Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn posing alongside actor Ken Jeong on July 14. In the picture, the lead singer smiles while wearing all-black clothing, resting his hand in his pocket while his chest tattoo peeked through his shirt. The photo, which was captioned, “Fun day with @kenjeong @CarpoolKaraoke @Apple Music — stay tuned,” was retweeted by the Hangover star who cheekily added, “Lin-Ken Park.”

As previously reported, the singer was found dead after hanging himself at his home in the Palos Verdes Estates neighborhood of Los Angeles on Thursday morning. He was 41.
