In his memoir, titled “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir,” published last year, Perry laid bare the extent of his battles with drug and alcohol addiction, which nearly took his life. His opioid addiction led to a ruptured colon at the age of 49, with doctors giving him only a two percent chance of survival. Perry endured a coma of two weeks and months more in the hospital, during which he underwent 14 surgeries to repair the damage. Over the years, he went to rehab 15 times in an effort to overcome his drug addiction. At the peak of his “Friends” career, Perry confessed to taking 55 Vicodin pills a day and dropping to a weight of 128 pounds, all while struggling to stop.
