ADELE HONOURS MATTHEW PERRY
Best known for his role as Chandler on hit TV series Friends, Matthew died at his home in Los Angeles, California on Saturday, 28 October. According to TMZ the actor drowned in his jacuzzi.
Shocked by the 54-year-old’s death Adele paused her Las Vegas residency show and dedicated her song When We Were Young to Matthew. The singer also told the audience that she’ll remember Perry’s character Chandler for the rest of her life.
“One of my favourite memories of when I was younger, one of my friends Andrew when I was 12 did the best Chandler impression, and he would do it all the time to make us laugh. And if anyone was having a bad day or feeling low, he would pretend to be Chandler. And I will remember that character for the rest of my life”, the British singer said.
Adele further expressed how despite not personally knowing Perry she can’t help but feel sad about his death.
“It is always so shocking, especially someone that made you laugh and who brought so much joy to your life that you don’t know…This is what I find so strange, I never met him in my life. There is something, you feel so sad about it especially because you don’t necessarily know what was going on”, she told audiences.
