The ever continuing process of healing...All love...
Posted by Vin Diesel on Wednesday, May 20, 2015
Vin Diesel is still grieving the loss of his best friend Paul Walker, who died in a car crash in November 2013, and he's paying tribute to the late actor by covering more songs.
Although he has been covering Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's megahit from Furious 7, "See You Again," the action star changed up his tune and chose to cover Tove Lo's "Habits (Stay High)" in a video posted to Facebook Wednesday. He slowed the song down by using piano and his deep voice. He captioned it, "The ever continuing process of healing...All love..."
As he sang, a photomontage of Walker with all of his friends plays in the background and the word "brotherhood" aired over the pictures.
The musical tributes to his best friend began while he was promoting Furious 7, but then he took them to the MTV Movie Awards stage where he performed "See You Again" in front of the audience and TV viewers.
If for some reason you haven't heard the Wiz's hit yet, here are just some sample lyrics to get the waterworks rolling:
"It's been a long day without you, my friend / And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again / We've come a long way from where we began / Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again," Puth sings in the hook.
Diesel also sang the song during an interview with an Italian media outlet, where he joked that he didn't have the best voice. Regardless, his hauntingly deep vocals make it hard not to shed a tear or two for Walker. "Now I've completely embarrassed myself in front of all of my Italian familia!" he told the reporter.
We can't blame him for not being able to hit that high note, though. All jokes aside, the interview took a serious turn when he opened up about what it was like to have to go back to work after Walker died.
"Oh my God, it was the hardest thing I had to do," he said. "I felt like it was almost unfair asking us to go back to work."
