    This may be because of the one-sided relationship an audience has with a public figure.

  • Other fans attributed their sobriety to his inspirational memoir because Perry was a person they could identify with.

A lasting legacy

  • Comments focused on his aged appearance and his “slurred” speech, possibly lasting effects of a years-long battle with addiction.
  • It would have been easy for Perry to retire from the public view and hide his struggles.
  • While he may influence some to begin their journey to recovery, perhaps his most lasting legacy will be that he brought a human face to addiction.
