The cast of Friends released a statement yesterday about the passing of their friend and co-star Matthew Perry. All five remaining castmembers, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Courtney Cox, Jennifer Aniston and Matt LeBlanc signed this statement:
“We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew,” they said in their statement. “We were more than just castmates. We are a family. There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss. In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”
Let's hope the press and everyone gives them time to grieve. No matter how you look at it, it's a tragic loss. If you were a Friends fan, you're feeling it too. May Matthew rest in peace.
