Poignant Footage of Showbiz Casualty Matthew Perry Performing With Drug-Mad '90s Hellraisers Oasis Resurfaces — as Rockers Gear Up for $530M Reunion Tour
Matthew Perry appeared on stage with Oasis during their ’90s pomp.
Matthew Perry became a showbiz tragedy – and Oasis could very well have joined him.
RadarOnline.com can reveal footage of Perry onstage with the ’90s band’s hellraisers Noel and Liam Gallagher has re-emerged in the wake of contrasting stories on all of them.
As arrests connected to Perry's death are announced, it has forced his sad addiction back into the spotlight.
In contrast, the hard-partying Oasis survivors made it out of their heyday without a debilitating drug problem and are ready to reunite for an estimated $530million tour.
The footage shows an October 1997 appearance on Saturday Night Live by Oasis, where the late Friends star hopped on stage with the quarreling brothers.
Perry and the Gallagher brothers also gathered onstage for the traditional farewell – where one of the brothers can be seen making a crude gesture on live TV.
Oasis only appeared on SNL one time.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Perry's live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, 59, doctors Salvador Plascencia, 42, and Mark Chavez, as well as Erik Fleming, both 54, and Jasveen Sangha, 41 – who is also known as the "ketamine queen" – were arrested in connection with his death.
The sitcom star, 54, was discovered unresponsive in his hot tub at his Los Angeles home.
His autopsy revealed the acute effects of ketamine as his cause of death.
Just like Perry, the infamous feuding Gallagher brothers, Noel, 57, and Liam, 51, have struggled with extensive drug use and self-destructive antics – which made constant headlines at the peak of their popularity between 1995 and 1998.
The elder Gallagher once admitted to using cocaine almost every night, saying during one interview: "I'd had panic attacks for about a year and I stopped because I wanted to. After you make the decision, it is quite easy.
"I can hardly remember a thing."

Matthew Perry only hosted SNL once despite starring on Friends from 1994 to 2004.
Oasis officially split in 2009 after the brothers got into a physical altercation on stage in Paris.
But the Wonderwall singers are reportedly ready to put the past behind them and reunite. Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, a former Oasis guitarist, and Debbie Gwyther, the yougner bother's fiancée, have played significant roles in encouraging the reunion.
The reunion was reportedly worked out over late-night phone calls and will bring the brothers a $530million payday.
A source told The Sun: "Noel and Liam are never going to be the best of friends but they want to bring Oasis back for the fans.
"They aren’t getting any younger and the demand is huge. They decided it was now or never. Noel dug his heels in for a long time but has finally caved and agreed to return.
The Gallagher brothers made headlines for their tumultuous relationship on and off the stage.
"He spoke to Liam on the phone and they are on the same page. They know this reunion will go down in music history."
The Once singer teased the reunion on X, writing: "I never did like that word former."
He then posed a multi-second teaser announcement to his Instagram page, hinting at a drop scheduled to come at 8am on August 27.
