GLEE: Lost a real talent to Substance abuse !

Cory Moneteith
I always liked watching musicals whether films or TV series, they never get old. Although allot of people dont like musicals especially glee, but still they lack the understanding that music really is what defines us and everything around us. Glee is one such attempt to define what life is via music. Cory Moneteith was part of this series and played his role very well till his death.

He was a Canadian actor and musician who was well known for his role in Glee as Finn Hudson internationally, right from the start he had a very troubled childhood and adolescence involving substance abuse. Cory tried hard at various points in life to get rid of his addiction by entering drug rehabilitation but failed to do so. He had minor roles in series like Stargate Atlantis and Smallville but became famous for his lead role in glee, he was given this role for his audition tape in which he sang ''Cant Fight this Feeling''.  He also worked in films like Monte Carlo and Sisters & Brothers.

According to the British Columbia Coroners Service, an overdose of heroin and alcohol that lead to mixed drug toxicity resulted in Cory's Tragic Death. They also said that right now all the evidence points out that it really was tragic accident and not intentional.

Glee had had allot of amazing moments of Cory as Finn Hudson. Out of all those moments in my opinion the best ones were him and all others singing ''DON'T STOP BELIEVING'', Stay Away from my future wife and Cory and Lea's Convo:



Cory and Lea Michele
- Finn: It's your own star
- Rachel: You named a star after me?
- Finn: No, I thought about that, but then I named it Finn Hudson. Because there's already a star named Rachel Berry. And she's right here on earth, and she's brighter than any of       those stars up there. So I just wanted to make sure that whenever she feels lonely she can look up in the sky, and no matter where I am, she can know that I'm looking down on her."



The Family of Cory along with his girlfriend/co-star in glee Lea Michele are grieving, they have received huge amount of wishes from all round the world. Glee's success really did had allot of contribution from Cory and even though Show executive will find suitable replacement but still Glee will never be the same again!

Don't stop believing is an inspiration song covered by glee more then once, the first time it was covered in first episode and was the real motivation for me to pick up this series to watch.
