Matthew Perry’s passing on October 28 at 54 has left a significant void in the entertainment world, with fans and close friends mourning the loss. Best known for his role as Chandler Bing on Friends, Perry’s death is under investigation.
Perry was open about his struggles with addiction and alcoholism, but he had been working toward a healthier life. He hoped to be remembered not just for his acting, but for helping others overcome addiction.
His Friends castmates attended his private funeral at Forest Memorial Park in LA, where they expressed their grief in a statement: “We are more than just cast mates. We are a family.” The ceremony concluded with a performance of Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush’s “Don’t Give Up.”
Jennifer Aniston, one of Perry’s closest friends, is reportedly devastated by the loss, as she had already faced the grief of losing another dear friend earlier in the year. Perry had often expressed his gratitude for Aniston’s support during his struggles.
