Corey Feldman Was In Chicago For the 40th Anniversary Of ‘Stand By Me’
The reason for Feldman’s trip to Chicago was due to a stop on the Stand by Me Live tour, which celebrates the 40th anniversary of Rob Reiner’s iconic 1986 film.
“Stand by Me” follows four twelve-year-old boys from an Oregon town who embark on an adventure and find the body of a missing boy. In the movie, Feldman plays Teddy Duchamp, starring alongside River Phoenix (Chris Chambers), Wil Wheaton (Gordie Lachance), and Jerry O’Connell (Vern Tessio).
Recently, Feldman also opened up about being excluded from the 2026 Oscars tribute for Reiner and his wife, Michele, who were tragically murdered in their home last December. Their son, Nick Reiner, has been charged with their murders.
“Personally, it felt a little bit like a family reunion I wasn’t invited to,” he told Entertainment Weekly in a March interview, “but we’re not going to use this time to get into my feelings about that.”
“Instead, I just want to say that I’m with the rest of us, we’re all very destroyed that things went down the way they did,” he continued, “losing Rob when we all thought he’d be joining us at some point for this tour.”
The Oscars tribute began with Bill Crystal talking about his beloved friend’s contributions. And with that, he was soon joined by other actors who had worked with Reiner, including “When Harry Met Sally” star Meg Ryan” as well as Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Kathy Bates, Kiefer Sutherland, Demi Moore, Jerry O’Connell, Annette Benning, Mandy Patinkin, Fred Savage, Cary Elwes and more.
