‘Glee’ star Lea Michele recalls how grief over Cory Monteith was made worse

Glee star Lea Michele’s grief over her castmate and partner Cory Monteith’s death was made worse by a tragedy tour bus passing by her house every day.

Lea opened up about Cory’s death on the Therapuss podcast with host Jake Shane.

“Life was very different,” she said. “I mean, I had a tour bus that would go past my house in West Hollywood, and you would hear it. I’d be in the house, and it’d be like, ‘Lea Michele, Rachel Berry on Glee.’ And then I would hear ‘Don’t Rain on My Parade’ playing while I’m sitting in my living room.”

Shocked, Jake asked, “What? They can do that? They can drive by your house and say to people that’s where you live?”

Michele confirmed the story and said that a Hollywood tragedy tour bus kept passing by her house every day after Monteith died of an overdose in 2013.

“There was also a tour bus that used to drive by my house… It was the tour of people who have died,” Michele shared.

“And after everything happened, this bus would come by — it was, you know, a Hollywood tragedy tour bus. And here, I was 26 years old, and this tour bus would pass by my house and every day I would hear, ‘These are the details and blah blah blah.'”

What made it worse, noted the star, was that “eerie music would be playing from the tour bus and there I was, just at home.”

Lea Michele ultimately moved to a new house much harder to reach.
