Matthew Perry - Perry Buys Elton's Home

Former FRIENDS star MATTHEW PERRY has given ELTON JOHN a financial boost as the rocker begins married life to longtime partner DAVID FURNISH - he has bought the ROCKET MAN's Los Angeles home.

Perry reportedly paid $4.5 million (GBP2.5 million) for the Beverly Hills condo, which features stunning views of Los Angeles, according to American magazine In Touch.

It's a big profit for Elton - he paid just $875,000 (GBP486,100) for the sky-high pad in the late 1990s.
