America's Sitcom 'FRIENDS' Actor James Michael Tyler Died Of Cancer

Sources said that the 59 year old start was suffering from prostate cancer.

In June, James revealed he had prostate cancer. Unfortunately, he was suffering from an advanced form of the disease in 2018, spreading to his bones.

He passed away in his home in Los Angeles.

He acted as a quirky coffee shop manager with bleached hair and unrequited love for Jennifer Aniston's Rachel.

In a report, his family stated: "The world knew him as Gunther (the seventh "Friend"), from the hit series Friends, but Michael's loved ones knew him as an artist, composer, cancer-awareness advocate, and generous husband.

Several fans called Tyler as the "seventh Friend" due to his pervasiveness in the show. He milled about behind the counter at Central Perk.

On Twitter, 'FRIENDS' said, "Warner Bros. Television mourns the loss of James Michael Tyler, a beloved actor and integral part of our FRIENDS family. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, colleagues and fans".
