Lea Michele talks former Boyfriend, Cory Monteith. The Heartbreaking First Interview. 'GLEE' 's Tribute to Cory Monteith. Season 5 Tribute.

The FOX tv series, 'GLEE' will be airing a memorial tribute to their fallen cast member, Cory Monteith, as he died from a drug overdose earlier in July of this year. Girlfriend, Lea Michele, talks to TV Week Austraila about the official new 'GLEE' season and what it is like without Cory Monteith being on set. "Everyone is asking: 'Is it hard to do this? Is it hard to be back at work?'," she says. "But the truth is it's no harder at work than it is in life so we might as well all be together as a family supporting each other to get through this together." stated Lea. 

Lea goes on with TV Week Austraila by saying that the cause of his death was so small compared to the impact that Cory had on everyones lives. ""I really woke up every single day feeling like I was being in some sort of spell or something, that I was lucky enough to have him in my life. I feel like what happened with Cory (the cause of his death) was this big," she says, holding her fingers together to reflect a miniscule amount, "in the scheme of who he was and his life." The memorial episode will be showing next thursday with its title "The Quarterback" and will be the shows final tribute to Cory and his character, Finn.
