Can i get the email address only for the previous owner of an iphone so as to remove the icloud lock

I received an iphone 6 from a buddy but after updating it i got the Activation Lock. I've tried to contact the previous owner and to no success. My question is, can I get the email address that was linked to the iphone just to send him a message of the activation lock.

See Turn off Activation Lock https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201441. Since you acquired the device second hand, apparently from an individual, If you cannot contact the prior owner, the device is useless to you.
