AN episode of “Carpool Karaoke” starring Linkin Park — recorded less than a week before lead singer Chester Bennington killed himself — has been released.

The 23-minute episode is being streamed for free on Facebook with the permission of Bennington’s family.

It was filmed for Apple Music on July 14 this year — six days before his body was found at a private home July 20.

The coroner ruled that Bennington, 41, had apparently hanged himself.

The episode sees Bennington, along with band mates Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn, driving around Los Angeles with U.S. comedian Ken Jeong and singing along to their hits, including “Numb,” “In the End” and “Talking to Myself.”

It also sees a smiling Bennington join in with renditions of songs by Aerosmith, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The singer jokes with Jeong that the comedian should “join the band,” saying: “Finally we have some leadership!”

He also revealed a love for Dungeons and Dragons and that his trademark scream was created early on in the band’s career.

“It’s a funny thing,” he said. “We were in the studio and working on a song and Mike was just like, ‘Do you think you could scream this thing?’ Then he was like, can you just do that all the time, forever, on every song?

“I was like, yeah, I guess!”

At the start of the episode, a screen reads: “With the blessing of Chester’s family and his bandmates, we share this episode and dedicate it to the memory of Chester.”

Earlier this month, the band revealed they were back in rehearsals for the first time since Bennington’s death.

Bass player Dave “Phoenix” Farrell posted a picture on Instagram, adding: “Home from the #dunhilllinks and back to ‘work!’ Good to be back with the guys.”

The band is rehearsing ahead of a special tribute gig to Bennington at LA’s Hollywood Bowl on Oct. 27, where they will be joined by the likes of Blink 182 and Korn.

The full episode of “Carpool Karaoke” can be streamed on Linkin Park’s Facebook page.
