Cory Monteith 'Glee' Tribute Trailer Says Goodbye To Finn Hudson (VIDEO)

WATCH: Heartbreaking 'Glee' Tribute Trailer

Fox have released the trailer for their upcoming "Glee" episode that pays tribute to the late Cory Monteith and the character he played on the popular TV show, Finn Hudson.

A cover of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love" (made famous by Adele) plays as images of the students of McKinley High pay respect to Finn, including a shot of Mr. Schue, (Matthew Morrison) comforting Rachel (Monteith's girlfriend, actress Lea Michele) as the text, "The hardest word to say is goodbye", flashes on screen.

The episode will air Thursday night. Called "The Quarterback", it was, according to series co-creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy "incredibly difficult to work on," Seattle PI reported.

Murphy said that the memorial episode is, "a very heartfelt look at how young people grieve," The Daily Mirror reported.

"We loved Cory and we loved Finn and it feels like a huge loss and a huge heartache not to have either of them around," he said.

Murphy told MTV that the grief seen on screen was the real grief of the cast, and that he had never before witnessed a crew leaving the room because they were crying so hard.

"It was very rough, and it was very rough with [Monteith's girlfriend] Lea [Michele] ... I'm very proud of it. I think the performances are quite stunning," he said.

Monteith, who was 31, was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room on July 13th. His death was ruled accidental earlier this week by the BC Coroners Service who concluded that he died of mixed drug toxicity involving intravenous heroin use combined with the ingestion of alcohol.
