Luke Perry's son has pulled out of a wrestling show following his father's death.

The 'Riverdale' star sadly died on Monday aged 52, days after suffering a stroke, and due to the devastating news his son Jack Perry - who performs under the moniker 'Jungle Boy' - will not be performing at Bar Wrestling next week.

In a short statement, the company announced on Twitter: "Unfortunately Jungle Boy will no longer be wrestling at our March 13th show.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time."

Jack, 21, is yet to publicly comment on his father's death.
