Adam Sandler revealed that he still gets “so emotional” when he performs the “Chris Farley Song,” a musical tribute he wrote several years ago to memorialize the late “Saturday Night Live” star.
“The first few times, we played that song, I would tear up and I couldn’t really sing it well because I’d get so emotional and then I felt it and was able to get it out there," Sandler said of the tune.
“I think it’s because we show a video of Chris and I see his face,” he said, referring to a montage video that shows clips of some of Farley’s best comedic moments. “And I remember his dad and I’m friends with his brothers and his mom and everybody and they still miss him a lot. So yeah, it gets me.”
The 56-year-old revealed that while he is able to get through the song each night, his friend and fellow “SNL” alum David Spade, who was also close friends with Farley, prefers not to listen to Sandler’s tribute track.
