Fairmont Pacific Rim: Fans gather to remember Cory Monteith

Don't Stop Believin': Gleeks unite for Cory Monteith vigil

Hundreds of "Glee" fans gathered at the Fairmont Pacific Rim, holding a candlelight vigil for actor Cory Monteith. Gleeks left flowers in front of the hotel and sang songs featured in the series. Several fans mentioned a rendition of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'", which found new life among Gleeks.

Some at the vigil attached messages to balloons and released them into the evening sky.

Several hundred fans turned out to remember Monteith, who died from a mixture of alcohol and heroin on July 13. A few days later, Cory Monteith was cremated in a private ceremony following the Coroner's report.

In light of Monteith's death, Fox has delayed production of the new season of "Glee", which will premiere on September 26, a week later than originally scheduled.

Here you will find photos and video from the vigil.
