Billie Eilish took a moment to pay tribute to Angus Cloud during her headlining set at Lollapalooza Thursday night.
Toward the end of her show on the T-Mobile stage at Grant Park in Chicago, the singer belted out “Never Felt So Alone,” her song with Labrinth that was featured in the second season of “Euphoria.”
