Gunther was the manager at the iconic Central Perk coffee shop, the favourite haunt of the gang. James was 59 and he was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2018. Tyler died Sunday at home in Los Angeles from prostate cancer, said his manager, Toni Benson. “The world knew him as Gunther (the seventh ‘Friend’), from the hit series Friends, but Michael’s loved ones knew him as an actor, musician, cancer-awareness advocate, and loving husband,” Benson wrote in a tribute.

Courteney Cox wrote, “The size of gratitude you brought into the room and showed every day on set is the size of the gratitude I hold for having known you. Rest In peace James.” Fans, who were devastated with the news have been sharing pictures and videos from his scenes in the iconic hit TV series. Indian celebrities like Anushka Sharma and Samantha too shared the news with a broken heart emoji.

Although Tyler was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018, he only announced it in June this year during an NBC interview. He was conspicuous by his absence in the studio during the Friends reunion and made an appearance via Zoom. Later he told the ‘Today’ show that he didn’t want to bring a ‘downer’ by revealing his diagnosis on the special episode. Tyler is survived by his wife, Jennifer Carno.
