He continued:

"I don’t even think he drank, I didn’t see him drinking, but I don’t know, I was working taking photographs."

Kennedy mentioned that the last time he saw Cloud was at the party and said that he "felt sick" when he heard about the artist's death.

Josh also shared that Cloud planned to direct a music video for MacArthur Maze.
