No drugs were found at the scene.

Perry has famously struggled with drug addiction for years. He wrote extensively about his problems in his recently published memoir, Friends, Lovers and The Big Terrible Thing.

He started with Budweiser at 14, then went on to vodka, Vicodin, Xanax and OxyContin. “I would fake back injuries. I would fake migraine headaches,” he wrote in his book, of search to get prescription drugs.
