Perry rose to fame playing fan-favorite Chandler for 10 seasons on the iconic sitcom “Friends,” which ran from 1994 – 2004.

He had a long history of drug and alcohol abuse, and opened up about his addictions in a memoir he published last year.

The star’s addiction struggles also caused him to suffer related health issues.

During a publicity tour for the tome last year, Perry revealed that he almost died in 2018 due to a gastrointestinal perforation. He subsequently spent months in the hospital.

“The doctors told my family that I had a 2 percent chance to live,” Perry stated at the time.
