Linkin Park made a surprise appearance on Twitch content creator Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 livestream marathon this morning (September 26th), and ended up entertaining subscribers with a 5-song set.
The band showed up to Cenat’s place in Beverly Hills, California, to hit a mix of old and new, performing YEAR ZERO singles “The Emptiness Machine” and “Heavy Is The Crown,” as well as signature cuts “What I’ve Done” and “In The End” and “Faint.” At one point, guitarist-vocalist Mike Shinoda stopped playing to jump on a nearby bed, while vocalist Emily Armstrong also took a bat to a lightbox with the Linkin logo on it; Joe Hahn also gave it a good smack with a sledgehammer.
This all took place at 2:30 A.M. during Cenat’s Twitch record-breaking, weeks-long livestream. Since September 1st, other high-profile guests that stopped by included Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Mariah Carey, Selena Gomez, Keke Palmer and more.
