Matthew Morrison pays stage tribute to tragic Monteith

Matthew Morrison paid a touching tribute to his Glee co-star Cory Monteith during a Sunday afternoon (14Jul13) concert in New York.

The actor/singer, who played tragic Monteith's mentor-turned-love rival on the show, was still coming to terms with his castmate's death when he hit the stage at 54 Below and took a moment to honor the actor, who was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room on Saturday (13Jun13).

Calling the 31 year old his "brother", Morrison told fans, "You guys came to see a show. I came to perform a show, so that's what we'll do. And we'll do it in Cory's honor."

He then kicked off the emotional concert with an a capella version of What I Did for Love from stage musical A Chorus Line, which he dedicated to his late Glee pal.
