Kiiara] on Facebook Live.

As the biggest band on Facebook - with over 62 million followers - the Los Angeles band delivered a stripped-down live performance and Q&A via the platform. Linkin Park invited fans everywhere into the heart of their Hollywood rehearsal space as they performed the signature smash "Crawling" followed by the first-ever performance of "Heavy" accompanied by alternative pop songstress Kiiara.
