The 25 year old actor, best known for his role as big-hearted drug dealer Fezco O'Neill on HBO's Euphoria, tragically passed away at his California home last week. And just days after Billie shared a photo tribute to him on her Instagram Story, she dedicated the song Never Felt So Alone to the late actor while on the T-Mobile stage at Grant Park in Chicago.
The hit song she co-sang with Labrinth was featured in the second season of Euphoria. After wrapping the song, the 21 year old singer said, "RIP Angus Cloud everybody," before the crowd erupted into cheers.

In a new post, Zendaya wrote: "I'm so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh (I'm smiling now just thinking of it) I know people use this expression often when talking about folks they love…' they could light up any room they entered' but boy let me tell you, he was the best at it," she continued:

Before working with the likes of Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney on Euphoria, Angus had been working as a waiter at a chicken and waffle restaurant in New York. He was spotted by talent scout Eléonore Hendricks who asked him to come read for the role, an opportunity which he first thought was a scam but led to Hollywood stardom.
