Zach Sobiech, the singer and songwriter behind viral YouTube hit "Clouds," passed away on Monday this week.
The 18-year-old battled a rare kind of cancer for most of his teen years after being diagnosed with osteosarcoma when he was 14-years-old. As a way to say good-bye to his friends and family, Zach wrote a song called "Clouds" that he uploaded on YouTube in December. The deeply personal video ended up touching the lives of millions of people on the Internet.
After "Clouds" went viral, the teen even signed with Broadcast Music Inc., a performing rights organization.
Zach's amazing story also caught the attention of Rainn Wilson's YouTube channel, SoulPancake, and they made a short documentary about the teen's journey, "My Last Days: Meet Zach Sobiech."
You people are so damn humiliating. I mean some are cussing why Zach is no. 2 or some are seeing it as a way for their favorite song to get the top positions once it drops. I mean can we not be so shallow? geez
