Billie Eilish Slams Fans for Throwing Objects on Stage While She’s Performing: “Absolutely infuriating”
Celebrities have to pay a price for being in the limelight. Sometimes it comes in the form of trolls and sometimes fans end up showing disrespect. The current trend of throwing objects by the fans at the live performances of celebrity singers has taken the internet by storm. The celebrities are indirectly disrespected by their fans who end up throwing objects at them only to hog the media attention.
Celebrities like Kelly Clarkson, Drake, Harry Styles, and Billie Eilish became victims of the illogical trend. Celebrities are expressing their disappointment on social media and are even demanding tight security measures to stop incidents like this. Recently, the Lovely singer expressed her dislike towards the trend that has taken over almost every concert and tour nowadays.
Billie Eilish Criticizes The Illogical Trend Of Throwing Objects On Stage
Billie Eilish spoke about the trend of throwing objects at celebrities and mentioned that it is not something new. She said-“It’s absolutely infuriating when you’re up there.”
Nowadays during live concerts, the singers get pelted with items like undergarments to cell phones. These insensitive acts have become very frequent nowadays. During an interview with the entertainment outlet Daily Mail, the American singer and songwriter confessed-
“I’ve been getting hit on stage with things for like, literally, six years, I don’t know why this is, like, new. I have mixed feelings about it because when you’re up there it blows. But you know it’s out of love and they’re just trying to give you something.”
The Happier than Ever singer further said-
“I have mixed feelings about it because when you’re up there it blows. But you know it’s out of love and they’re just trying to give you something.”
As an artist, Billie Eilish mentioned that the famous singers who are performing on the stage are already “in a vulnerable position” and on being hit by something unexpectedly being live on the stage, “it’s absolutely infuriating when you’re up there.”
Singer Kelly Clarkson was physically manhandled by a fan during a live performance. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the chat show host revealed-
“I don’t know to this day how security [didn’t catch this person]. They were sweet fans who wanted to hug me and just chose poorly how to do it. When your eyes are closed and you’re singing and you’re vulnerable in this space and someone just kind of attacks you like that — that really was not a good experience for me.”
The trend has become the talk of the town in Hollywood. With every tour and concert, the fans are continuously harassing and disrespecting the celebrities. Nothing seems to stop the fans from doing these silly acts for getting noticed during a live show.
Billie Eilish And Other Celebrities Who Became A Victim Of The Stage Trend
Fans nowadays feel that celebrities can be trolled, and made fun of. They can do whatever they want with the celebs just to hog the attention of their favorite artists and media limelight.
Recently, Meant To Be singer Bebe Rexha was hit by a cell phone during her live performance. The area around her eye was badly hurt. She is currently doing fine, but the singer feels traumatized by the fan’s illogical act.
During a live performance of Harry Style’s Love On Tour, the singer was struck with something that ended up hitting his left eye. The As It Was singer brought his hands across his face in an act to cover it.
Irresponsible and insensitive acts like this will only end up reducing live concerts around the world. Either the fans would be kept at a huge distance from the performers or they would not be allowed to enter the venue with their belongings.
