Tyrese Says Paul Walker "Wouldn't Want Anybody to Be Sad or Miserable" Over His Death

It's been almost two months since the world heard
of Paul Walker's tragic death, and his fans and
friends continue to mourn the fallen star.
However, Walker's pal and Fast & Furious costar
Tyrese tells E! News that his friend wouldn't want
people to be down about the fact that he's no
longer here, even though the R&B singer admits
that he found it difficult to move forward himself.
"I went out there and I found my smile again,"
Tyrese told us of his recent 35th birthday
celebration in Dubai.
"I think a lot of us, without knowing, just with the
hustle and bustle of life, trauma, drama and stuff--
everybody knows what happened--to all of us
mourning the loss of Paul at the end of the year,
and I was just really sad for a long time. And I
said, you know what? I'm gonna go to Dubai and
I'm gonna go find my smile again and I found it."
But his birthday celebrations stirred up a bit of
controversy from some fans who felt it was
inappropriate considering what recently happened.
"It's a bittersweet situation. You'll have fans on the
Internet that say, 'Well, you just lost your friend
and yet you're out there celebrating,'" Tyrese tells
E! News.
"But I think at the end of the day, my inspiration
was I've never seen him cry, I've never seen him
sad. I've never even seen him down. So at the end
of the day, he wouldn't want anybody to be sad or
miserable about the fact that he's not here because
that's just who he was."
