The artwork is visible on the 101 freeway, going northbound near Coldwater Canyon Avenue, and is painted on the back of the rock-themed pizza restaurant Rock'n Pies. The painting depicts the late singer shirtless and with a smile on his face.

The artist told Variety this week that he'd always noticed the blank wall and "thought it would be good for something."

"When I heard Chester died, I immediately thought of that wall because I knew some of the band members lived in the Valley," Never told the publication. "I just texted [the restaurant owner] Jim [Connors] and offered to do it for free because it was the right thing to do."

"When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind." - Chester Bennington. New mural in progress from our friend @never1959 at our Sherman Oaks location.
