This live performance not only captured the raw energy of their music but also marked a significant chapter in their career, highlighting their evolution from young rockers to influential artists on the global stage. 'Breaking the Habit' itself resonated deeply with fans, addressing personal struggles and addictions, making this performance all the more poignant.
