Billie Eilish stops show to help fans in sweltering heat

Fans capture the moment Billie Eilish stops show at London’s O2 Arena after several fans passed out in sweltering heat.

Billie Eilish continued her streak of putting fans first when she stopped her show at London’s O2 Arena to make sure fainting fans were safe.

After several fans were taken out of the 20,000 capacity crowd after fainting in high temperatures during her Happier Than Ever world tour performance, Eilish was filmed stopping the music.

“People are fainting and getting pulled out,” she told her fans. “Are we okay? Let me know. It’s hot”.

Before starting up again, the 20-year-old singer asked the crowd to “take one step back” and give each other a little space.

“Are you squished a little bit? If someone looks a little woozy, just tell someone, okay? Don’t try to save feelings.”

She then thanks the security staff for helping, and got back into it.

It’s not the first time Eilish has stopped mid-show to help a fan. On the Atlanta leg of the same tour she asked security to grab an inhaler for a fan struggling to breathe, and she invited the crowd at New York’s Madison Square Garden to sit down if they wanted to.

She even stirred up controversy after the inhaler moment when she was filmed saying: “‘I’ll wait for people to be okay until I keep going.”

This came right after 300 fans were treated for injuries, and 10 died during the tragic crush during Travis Scott’s performance at the Astroworld music festival in 2021. Many people took the comment as a dig at the rapper for not intervening.
