Clouds Trailer on Disney Plus Tells Zach Sobiech Story

Singer-songwriter Zach Sobiech had a No. 1 hit on iTunes in 2013 with the song “Clouds.” Sadly, Sobiech passed away shortly afterward in May 2013 at only 18 years old. The upcoming movie Clouds on Disney Plus will celebrate the life of Zach Sobiech. You can watch the Clouds trailer right here!

Who Was Zach Sobiech?

Teenage singer-songwriter Zach Sobiech was a member of the Minnesota band A Firm Handshake.

He wrote the hopeful song “Clouds” after being told by doctors in May 2012 that he had less than a year to live because of osteosarcoma, a rare type of bone cancer that primarily affects teenagers and young adults.

Sobiech initially released “Clouds” as a YouTube video in December 2012 where it became a viral hit.

As of September 2020, the video has over 14.5 million views!

“Clouds” also appeared on music charts in Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and Switzerland.

After Siobech’s death, many artists have recorded tribute versions of “Clouds.”

This includes an all-star version featuring artists like:

• Ashley Tisdale
• Colbie Caillat
• Sara Bareilles
• Jason Derulo
• Actors like Bryan Cranston, Rainn Wilson, and Chris Pratt
• The all-star music video was directed by Justin Baldoni, who also has directed the movie Clouds on Disney Plus.
