The entertainment world was left shocked when beloved comedian and Friends star Matthew Perry was found dead of an apparent drowning in his Los Angeles home, aged 54.
Many of his co-stars and A-list friends have shared tributes to him and his legacy, and in the midst of her Halloween show during her Las Vegas residency, Adele took a moment as well.
The British songstress, 35, paused in the middle of her latest Weekends with Adele show, while introducing her song "When We Were Young," to honor the late screen star, according to Los Angeles Times.
"I'll remember that character for the rest of my life," she fondly said of his iconic turn as Chandler Bing through the 1994-2004 run of Friends. "He's probably the best comedic character of all time."
Adele spoke to the audience about their favorite Chandler Bing memories and recalled some of her own from childhood, saying: "One of my friends Andrew when I was, like, 12 did the best Chandler impression.
"He would do it all the time to make us laugh and if any of us were having a bad day or feeling low he would just pretend to be Chandler."

"He was so open with his struggles with addiction and sobriety, which I think is incredibly, incredibly brave," Adele continued. Matthew addressed much of his journey to better health in his 2022 memoir Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing.
