Adam Sandler Performs a Heartbreaking Tribute to Late Friend Chris Farley on His 100% Fresh Netflix Special

In a clip from the upcoming Netflix special Adam Sandler 100% Fresh, the titular comedian and talented musician performed a heartbreaking musical tribute to his friend Chris Farley. Farley sadly passed away in 1997 at the age of 33 from a combination of a drug overdose, just like his hero John Belushi and of heart disease like his other hero John Candy, a fact that did not go unnoticed by Sandler in his song.
