The songstress continued to recall a friend of hers named Andrew who could imitate the character’s wit and humour flawlessly, always bringing smiles and laughter to those around him. “He would do it all the time to make us laugh and if any of us were having a bad day or feeling low, he would just pretend to be Chandler,” Adele shared.
It is pertinent to note here that American-Canadian actor Matthew Perry, who gained fame in the 1990s as the wise-cracking Chandler Bing in the top-rated television comedy ‘Friends’ and chronicled his decades-long battle with substance abuse in a memoir last year, was found dead in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home on Sunday, at the age of 54.
His death was confirmed in a statement by an American broadcast network on the micro-blogging site, X. “We are incredibly saddened by the too soon passing of Matthew Perry,” it stated.
“He brought so much joy to hundreds of millions of people around the world with his pitch-perfect comedic timing and wry wit. His legacy will live on through countless generations.”
