Entertainment: The passing of Luke Perry shocks the world

On Monday afternoon, the entertainment world lost a major actor. Luke Perry, known for being in such hit shows like Riverdale and 90210 passed away at the age of 52. The cause of his death has been a result of complications from a stroke he suffered a few days ago. He is survived by his two kids. He was a television actor from 1982 up until his death. The same goes for his film career.

According to the Internet Stroke Center, 140,000 people die each year from a stroke. It’s worth noting that a stroke is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the US. The death of Luke Perry shocked the entertainment world because he suffered the stroke a few days ago and nothing else came of it until it was announced that he died. Up until his death, Luke Perry was a mainstay on the CW’s Riverdale. It will be very interesting to see how they address his passing. It is worth noting also that production for Riverdale has been shut down for the next couple of weeks. The production team of Riverdale released a statement on the matter. It reads, “We are deeply saddened to learn today about the passing of Luke Perry. A beloved member of the Riverdale. Warner Bros, and CW family. Luke was everything you would hope he would be: an incredibly caring, consummate professional with a giant heart, and a true friend to all. A father figure and mentor to the show’s young cast, Luke was incredibly generous, and he infused the set with love and kindness. Our thoughts are with Luke’s family during this difficult time.”

There’s been talk and it was made official that a reboot of 90210 will be done this summer. Due to his involvement in Riverdale, Luke Perry was going to have a limited role in the reboot. It is safe to say that they will probably make some sort of mention on his passing when the show kicks off this summer. It’s also worth noting that Luke Perry was the father to Jungle boy, an AEW wrestler and independent wrestler.

Luke Perry’s unfortunate passing will be felt for some time. The Perry family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time
