ETA: Matthew Morrison told E News last night at the Weinstein Company’s pre-Oscar party at the Montage in Beverly Hills.
“It was a tough day. I’m not going to cry now because I kind of got it all out, but it was a really tough day.”
Morrison sings the final song in the final scene of the series finale. I’m not going to spoil anything by telling you what song, but Morrison said, “It was a beautiful send-off. But it was tough. I was singing to all the kids and Amber Riley starts crying and I’m like, ‘Come on, don’t do this to me right now.’ And then Lea Michele starts crying and then Darren Criss and Chris Colfer.”
Although filming is over, there are still 4 more weeks of Glee before we say goodbye to the gang forever. The series finale airs on Friday March 20.
