Pee-wee Herman Actor Paul Reubens and Euphoria Actor Angus Cloud Pass Away
It has been a week of several losses in the entertainment week as both Paul Reubens and Angus Cloud have passed away.
Paul Reubens was the actor behind the well-loved character Pee-wee Herman. The performer had been battling cancer for six years. Just this week, he passed away at the age of 70. While his battle with cancer was never publically shared with his audience, a message concerning his medical condition and his gratitude for the support and love he has recieved through the years was published after his death. He apologized for not sharing this struggle with the world but thanked everyone for being there with him and for him. He wrote:
"Please accept my apology for not going public with what I've been facing the last six years...I have always felt a huge amount of love and respect from my friends, fans and supporters. I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you."
Another major loss the art world has faced this week is the loss of young actor Angus Cloud. The cause of death for the 25-year-old Euphoria star is currently unknown, but it is supposed that it may be due to a possible drug overdose. Cloud was found unconscious by his mother. When authorities arrived, the actor was pronounced dead on the scene. According to TMZ, a source revealed that Cloud had been struggling with suicidal ideations for some time. In light of Cloud's passing, his family remarked:
"It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways...Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence."
Our hearts go out to the friends and families of both Paul Reubens and Angus Cloud. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world.
