Billie Eilish dedicated an emotional performance to the late Angus Cloud during her headlining set at Lollapalooza on August 3.
On Thursday, when headlining night one of the Lollapalooza music festival at Grant Park in Chicago, Eilish, 21, dedicated “Never Felt So Alone” to Cloud. The actor, who played star Fezco in the hit HBO series Euphoria, died on Monday at the age of 25 at his family’s home in Oakland, California.
“RIP Angus Cloud everybody,” the singer remarked at the end of the song – which was recorded with Labrinth and featured in Euphoria’s second season, amid applause from the crowd.
For her Lollapalooza performance, Eilish sported newly red hair and a Chicago Bulls jersey with red highlights, and was introduced by Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and resulted in the hashtag #Billiepalooza from fans on social media.
On TikTok, @_billieupdates posted a short clip of her performance at the music festival, receiving 15.2K+ Likes:

Cloud was set to feature in an untitled thriller from Universal Pictures, which had announced his casting in May alongside Katheryn Newton, Dan Stevens, and Melissa Barrera.
He also co-stars with Pedro Pascal in the Oakland-set drama “Freaky Tales,” which concluded filming in January.
Cloud disclosed a laissez faire attitude toward his Hollywood career and contentment with the thought of returning to his native Northern California someday.
“Oakland’s where my heart’s at,” he told iD. “It’s just a beautiful place to be.”
The world will remember Angus Cloud for his tremendous contributions.
