[News] Matthew Perry RIP

[METALMICKY]

That's really sad news. Friends was a classic show with superb writing and acting to match. Perry's comic timing and delivery was brilliant.

RIP young man.

Gutted to hear this - part of my era growing up and right up to the present days. If addiction played any part it’s even sadder and needs to be respected by everyone.

Friends was not my thing but the reach and appeal of that show was huge. A sad day for millions. RIP Matthew.

Sad news indeed. His abilities shone in the west wing for which he was nominated for an Emmy I believe, and Studio 60 on which he flourished with Sorkin's scripts.

I’m absolutely shattered by this news. It’s not something I ever talk openly about, and maybe I should, but I have suffered terribly with addiction myself and when I read his book last year it was like looking into my own soul at times. I felt like I knew the person, for I could relate to struggles he had experienced.

For someone I never met, I feel a huge degree of pain and grief right now. It’s been a long time since the death of a celebrity affected my as viscerally as this.

Aside from sadness, an immediate reaction to news like this is ‘was it suicide?’.
It’s a minor consolation to hear it was not.

Yucky business


Awful people

 

[Albion my Albion]

A man with an addiction and a lot of money will be a target for unscrupulous criminals.

His autobiography is well worth a butcher's.
