Okay… this is not a drill. Somebody call Ryan Murphy because the Monteith family timeline just turned into a tragic plot twist straight out of a very dramatic Netflix miniseries.
So, here’s the tea (but like… very respectful tea, okay?): Cory Monteith’s mom, Ann McGregor, sadly passed away on June 18 at age 74. And that happened just weeks after Cory’s estranged dad, Joe Monteith, died on May 12 at 75. That’s right — both parents gone within a month, and now fans are collectively clutching their pearls.
Cory, who played the ultimate sad jock Finn Hudson on Glee, tragically passed away back in 2013 from an accidental overdose at 31 — which still feels unreal, by the way. And now, with both his parents joining him in the great cosmic choir room in the sky, people are calling it the Glee curse season finale (please, someone light a candle shaped like a slushie cup).
Ann’s obituary says she “passed peacefully,” which honestly makes us picture her wrapped in a cloud, being carried off by backup dancers in soft lighting. Joe’s fam also gave a huge shoutout to the palliative care angels who helped him through his final days. Shoutout to Canada’s healthcare heroes, fr.
While this is definitely one of those “grab the tissues and rewatch Season 1” moments, let’s send all the love and comfort vibes to the Monteith and McGregor families. They’ve been through a lot, and we’re lighting every emotional glitter candle we can find.
Gone but never forgotten. Glee club forever. 🕊️💔
