Matthew Perry went on a press tour for his memoir, 'Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,' a year before he died. During the interviews, Perry revealed his addiction battle and how he wanted to be remembered.
Matthew Perry's 2022 'Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing' press tour has become an archive of the actor's final interviews. Perry died Oct.28 after an apparent drowning in a hot tub at his home in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News Digital. He was 54. On Nov. 1 2022, nearly a year to the day before his death, Perry released his memoir detailing his rise to fame as well as his struggles with addiction.
Over the course of his life, Perry had 14 stomach surgeries. 'That's a lot of reminders to stay sober,' Perry told People magazine of his surgical scars in October 2022. 'All I have to do is look down.' When Perry would have thoughts of taking an opioid again, he told the outlet he would remind himself of what his therapist told him.
