(Rock AAA) Corey Taylor paid an emotional tribute to the late Paul Gray on what would have been Gray's 39th birthday during a concert in San Antonio, Texas, on Friday night.

The Stone Sour and Slipknot frontman dedicated the song 'Bother' to his former Slipknot bassist during the show and admitted his ongoing grief at the sudden passing of someone he considered a 'brother.'

Jay Nanda of the San Antonio Metal Music Examiner revealed the details of the emotionally charged moment in his review of the gig. He wrote: "With the stage belonging to Taylor and his guitar, the frontman went into 'Bother', pausing a couple of times to wipe tears. When it looked as if he wouldn't be able to make it through the song, the crowd uplifted him with chants of 'Corey, Corey, Corey."
