Perry’s ‘wild’ message to his ex before his death
Skye revealed in her new memoir which is titled, Say Everything that Perry texted her, “Hi! I hope all is well. I was meditating (I meditate now) and “In Your Eyes” started playing. And I instantly thought of you and how beautiful you are . . . I hope you are healthy and happy.” She told The Mirror US that his text was very “out of the blue,” adding, “Anyone who’s despairing, it’s just the worst. And so I’m just like, ‘This is horrible.'”
She continued, “And the thought of people can’t get out of those periods. It just, I feel for anyone like that.” Speaking about Matthew’s message, she then said, “It was very wild because every once in a while we text, but that was really out of the blue. So I was really surprised.”
Skye also revealed to the outlet that Perry’s text made her happy “It was so, such a warm text. It was so nice,” as reported by The Mirror US.
