Adele stop her Las Vegas concert to honour late actor Matthew Perry, says 'will remember him for life'

During her Las Vegas performance, British phenomenon Adele paused briefly to honour the late actor Matthew Perry, who was tragically discovered dead in his Los Angeles home's hot tub at the age of 54. The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, where Adele is now entertaining fans with her Vegas residency, exploded in applause when she mentioned how much she liked Perry's depiction of Chandler Bing on the hit television show "Friends."

“I’ll remember that character for the rest of my life,” Adele said, with deep admiration for Chandler Bing, adding, “He's probably the best comedic character of all time.”

Reflecting on her own childhood, Adele recalled a friend named Andrew who could imitate Chandler'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," she reminisced, "and if any of us were having a bad day or feeling low, he would just pretend to be Chandler."

Adele, who embarked on her own journey to sobriety earlier this year, also acknowledged Perry's brave transparency about his struggles with addiction and sobriety. The actor's 2022 memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing," shed light on these challenges, and Adele commended his courage for sharing his story.
