BREAKING NEWS: Mark Sailing (known for playing delinquent jock “Noah Puckerman” on Glee) passed away today at the age of 35 from taking his own life. So sad.
This is the 2nd main principal cast member from the Award winning musical FOX TV show to no longer be with us. Back in the Summer of 2013, Cory Monteith (who played the star Quarterback turned Singer “Finn Hudson) died of a toxic combination of heroin and alcohol in a hotel room in Vancouver.
If you are a super GLEE fan and want to share your favorite memories of Mark and Cory, join us on our GLEEKS ON BROADWAY Walking Tour.
RIP Puck (same for Finn).
