“Perfect Day” is a song written by Lou Reed in 1972, originally featured on Transformer, Reed’s second post-Velvet Underground solo album. Its fame was given a boost in the 1990s when it was featured in the 1996 film Trainspotting, and after a star-studded version was released as a BBC charity single in 1997, which became the UK’s number one single for three weeks.

Legendary musician Lou Reed has died, Rolling Stone reported on Sunday.
He was 71.
The Guardian confirmed the report, citing Reed’s agent. BBC also confirmed the report.
His exact cause of death was not immediately revealed, but the AP said it was a “liver-related ailment.”
Earlier this year, he received a life-saving liver transplant after experiencing chronic liver failure. Reed was open about his addiction to drugs and alcohol in his music. He’d been sober for decades, but his past drug use took a heavy toll on his body. In “Heroin,” he wrote: “Heroin, be the death of me/Heroin, it’s my wife and it’s my life.”
