The cast of Glee has come out in various ways to show their love and support to their fallen friend and costar Cory Monteith. Chord Overstreet, who plays Sam, dedicated an original acoustic song to his late friend during a recent live performance.
On Friday, July 20th, Chord Overstreet performed at The Roxy in Los Angeles and dedicated the unnamed song to Cory Monteith saying that he lost a “dear friend” recently, and “this is for you Cory.” Check out the performance in the video below:
Cory Monteith suddenly passed away just over 2 weeks ago by an accidental overdose, mixing heroine and alcohol. Since the tragic news broke in the middle of the night, the Glee fandom has been in shock.
Glee creator Ryan Murphy has just recently gone on record talking about Cory, the type of guy he was, and what this sad and unfortunate news will mean for the plot of upcoming season 5. Check out that story here.
As a result of the passing of Cory Monteith, Glee has pushed back its original season 5 premiere date from September 19th to the new date of September 26th – just one week removed. Some fans thought that one week was not enough time for the show to properly move on from such a devastating loss to the cast.
Chord Overstreet will return to Glee in season 5 despite some pretty significant casting changes.
What are your thoughts about Chord’s unique, original song dedicated to Cory?
