The rapper was headlining the main stage at the UK event when he ended his set with Encore.

Before going into the track, Jay Z asked the crowd: 'Can you guys light it up tonight for Chester?'

He added: 'Please make some noise so he can hear you all the way in heaven tonight.'

Jay Z and Chester teamed up for the album Collision Course in 2004; Encore was the most popular track from it, winning the Grammy Award for best rap/sung collaboration.

Chester died by suicide last month.
