Adele dedicated her song, “When We Were Young” to Matthew during her residency concert in Las Vegas. Adele expressed that though she has never met the former in person, he has always been in her fondest childhood memories.

"One of my friends, Andrew, when I was 12 did the best Chandler impression," she told the crowd. "And he would do it all the time to make us laugh. And if anyone was having a bad day or feeling low, he would just pretend to be Chandler. And I'll remember that character for the rest of my life.

"He was so open with his struggles with addiction and sobriety, which I think is incredibly, incredibly brave," she added. "I just wanna say how much I love what he did for us, especially what he did for me. One of the best comedians...and hopefully now he can rest in peace."

The actor known for his role in Fools Rush In tragically passed away at 54 due to an apparent drowning at his Southern California residence. His representative, along with a law enforcement source, confirmed this sad news to NBC News on October 28.
