A Peek at Glee’s Tribute & Tearful Farewell to Cory Monteith (VIDEO & PHOTOS)

On Thursday, Oct 13, fans of the hit Fox musical should stack on boxes of tissues or hankies as they will surely cry a river watching the show's tearful tribute and farewell to deceased Glee star Cory Monteith, who played the character Finn Hudson.

Ahead of that, here is a peek at the farewell.

The 30-second promo video is set to the tune Make You Feel My Love by Bob Dylan, but was performed by Lea Michele, Cory's reel and real life girlfriend.

To explain Finn's disappearance from Glee, now on its fifth season, the producers decided to kill the character. While the scenes were being shot, real tears were flowing from the eyes of the grief-stricken cast as they come to terms with the death of Finn.

The promo video shows Lea, who plays Rachel Berry, being consoled by Mr Schuester, essayed by Matthew Morrison, and the other important characters in Finn's life. Among them is gay Kurt Hummel, played by Chris Colfer, who plays his stepbrother. Kurt is seen shedding real tears while clinging on to the varsity football jacket of Finn.

Ryan Murphy, the executive producer of Glee, told the American Horror Show on Thursday that most of the scenes in the tribute were filmed in one shot since the crew and cast found it very tough to do that episode.

"What you will see in the episode is what really happened ... These performance that you'll see, almost everything in that episode is from the first take of every performance, because the actors and the crew had a really hard time shooting it," Murphy said.

He added, "I've never seen a crew that you can't continue shooting because they've left the room sobbing. It was very hard."

Cory, 31, was founded dead on July 13, 2013, in a hotel room in Vancouver, Canada, due to overdose of drugs and alcohol.
