Famed medium John Edward reportedly predicted Matthew Perry’s death just three days before he drowned in a hot tub on Saturday at the age of 54.
The American psychic is currently touring Australia on his Crossing Over tour and appeared on stage in Sydney on Wednesday to share his latest predictions.
According to a participant named Karen, Edward stopped the performance after receiving a psychic message that she now realizes was about Perry.
Thinking back to the chilling moment with The Kyle and Jackie O Show On Monday, Karen explained that she brought a copy of Perry’s memoir to Edward’s appearance with the intention of giving it to her sister.
“John asked during the show, ‘Did anyone bring a Little House on the Prairie book?’ I didn’t think anything of it, but my daughter said, ‘Mom, you have Matthew Perry’s book,'” she explained.

“Perry and Prairie, they sound the same. My daughter said, ‘Get up, get up,’ but I was too ashamed. And then Matthew died three days later, and I’m thinking now, ‘Was it a sign?’
Later in the show, another fan called in to point out that Matthew’s father, actor John Bennett Perry, once starred in the TV series Little House on the Prairie.
Perry, best known for his role as Chandler Bing on Friends, was found dead in a hot tub at his Pacific Palisades home on Saturday.
A woman who attended Edward’s show in Sydney on Wednesday called The Kyle And Jackie O Show on Monday to claim the psychic had stopped the performance to ask the audience: “Did anyone bring a Little House on the Prairie book?”
Karen explained that she brought a copy of Perry’s memoir to Edward’s performance, and pointed out how the words Perry and Prairie rhyme.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office announced that Perry’s cause of death has been “deferred” while the investigation is considered “ongoing” by authorities.
Perry was a smoker who also struggled with alcoholism and opioid addiction, but claimed to have been clean shortly before he allegedly drowned.
He spoke candidly about his past problems, after first entering rehab in 1997 for an addiction to pain medication following a jet ski accident.

He then returned in 2001 and 2011. In 2016, he told an interviewer that he doesn’t remember filming three seasons of Friends.
Despite hiding his demons from the public for years, Perry detailed his struggles in his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lovers And The Big Terrible Thing.
In the opening he wrote: ‘Hello, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty. And I should be dead.”
He added: “People would be surprised to know that I have been mostly sober since 2001. Except for about sixty to seventy minor accidents over the years.’
