During her headlining set at Lollapalooza on Thursday, Aug. 3, Billie Eilish paid tribute to the late Angus Cloud.
Eilish performed her Labrinth collaboration "Never Felt So Alone," which appeared in Euphoria, and ended it with a dedication to the actor, who died on July 31. "RIP to Angus Cloud, everybody," she told the audience at the end of the song. She only provided backing vocals on the original version of the track, but took full duties for the tribute to the Euphoria actor.
The heartbreaking news of Cloud's passing was confirmed by his family earlier this week. A cause of death has not been revealed, but TMZ reported a source close to his family said he was struggling with his mental health after returning home from his father's funeral in Ireland.
