Cory Monteith Name Misspelling: Grammys In Memoriam Slide Swaps Letters

Fans of the late "Glee" star Cory Monteith were incensed by the misspelling of his name in the Grammys' annual In Memoriam tribute Sunday night. The “i” and “e” were reversed in the actor/singer's last name.

Monteith, a star on “Glee,” died in July 2013 from a drug and alcohol overdose. The show handled his death on the third episode of this season, choosing not to focus on how his character, Finn, died, but to highlight how everyone on the show grieved his loss.
