Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington will forever be linked.

Cornell would've turned 55 today (July 20), while Bennington passed away two years ago today.  Their shocking suicide deaths were separated by mere months and is made only more painful considering Bennington sang at Cornell's funeral.

Both men were unique voices for their generation that stood out from the rest.  What better way to honor them than by looking back to when they joined forces and shared a stage back in 2008 when Cornell and Linkin Park toured together.

Here are Cornell and Bennington performing the Temple of the Dog hit "Hunger Strike."
