Kiwi star KJ Apa has paid tribute to his Riverdale co-star Luke Perry, who died this week after suffering a "massive stroke".
Apa shared a screenshot on his Instagram story of the Third Eye Blind song The Background, which pays tribute to a loved one who has died in hospital.
The opening lyrics include: "Everything is quiet since you're not around, and I live in the numbness now, in the background."
Perry played Fred Andrews, the father of Apa's character Archie, in Riverdale, the CW/Netflix TV series based on the beloved Archie comics.
