The Emmys’ in memoriam segment featured a beautiful performance of the Friends theme song for Matthew Perry

This was such a moving Emmys tribute to Matthew Perry and many other television greats who have recently died.

The Emmys always honor the television greats that have passed on during the annual ceremony, but Monday night’s in memoriam hit especially hard.

The ceremony welcomed singer Charlie Puth and country duo The War and Treaty to perform the theme song for Friends, which pays homage to recently deceased show star Matthew Perry.

The performance of The Rembrandts’ “I’ll Be There for You” took on added significance as it bid farewell to many notable names that have died since the last Emmys ceremony.

The video ended on a still of Perry, whose passing is just still such a sad reality after the Friends actor died last October at the age of 54.

The performance here was very moving, and you have to feel the love in the room for Perry and so many of these wonderful television figures who have passed on with how this song weaved into the in memoriam tribute.
