Matthew Perry, best known for his role as Chandler Bing in Friends, was remembered with a touching song at his funeral. The actor, who sadly passed away last week, had his memorial service end with the powerful 1980s ballad 'Don't Give Up' by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush.
The lyrics of the song tell the story of a man struggling with unemployment and its impact on his relationship, reflecting themes of isolation and despair. However, the choruses, sung from his partner's perspective, offer words of care, hope, and encouragement.
The song has a touching line that goes, "No fight left or so it seems, I am a man whose dreams have all deserted, I've changed my face, I've changed my name, But no one wants you when you lose." Fans are wondering if this could be about Perry's struggle with addiction, which he talked about in his book, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing.
The title of the song might also be a message of strength for others who have struggled with addiction. Matthew went to rehab 15 times between 1994 and his death. In October 2022, Matthew told People magazine about his battle with alcohol from his early twenties.
He said: "I could handle it, kind of. But by the time I was 34, I was really entrenched in a lot of trouble. But there were years that I was sober during that time.
Season 9 was the year that I was sober the whole way through. And guess which season I got nominated for best actor? I was like, 'That should tell me something.'" He also got addicted to prescription drugs, taking up to 55 Vicodin tablets a day, which made him lose weight. He added: "I didn't know how to stop.
