Perry's autobiography, “Friends, Lovers, and The Big Terrible Thing,” was a bestseller on Nov. 1, replacing Britney Spears' “The Woman In Me” at the top of the Amazon charts. In the book, the actor shared details about his 10 years on "Friends," as well as his love for his co-stars. He also chronicalled his intense back-and-forth fight with addiction that he said started in 1996. He struggled with both drugs and alcohol, as well as cigarettes.
The actor also said he wanted to be remembered for more than his role on "Friends." He used his fame and fortune to help others, as well as aided other addicts in need. When I die, I don't want 'Friends' to be the first thing that's mentioned -- I want helping others to be the first thing that's mentioned. And I'm going to live the rest of my life proving that," Perry said before his passing. "Addiction is far too powerful for anyone to defeat alone. But together, one day at a time, we can beat it down."
