Billie Eilish is currently on her “Happier Than Ever” world tour. During a concert at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, the singer stopped her show to help a spectator who was short of breath.
Seeing that the front stage fan was in trouble, Eilish stopped her concert to ask what was going on. “Do you need an inhaler?” she asked before asking her crew if they could organize an inhaler.
“It’s OK, we have one,” Eilish was able to reassure the affected person, before adding to the rest of the viewers: “Give her some time and don’t push”. The breathless spectator did not want to leave the concert when Eilish asked.
Later in the show, the pop singer revisited the incident, explaining that she always waits until everyone is okay before moving on. This was interpreted by some viewers as a dig at their colleague Travis Scott. The US rapper continued his show at the Astroworld Festival last year despite a mass panic in the crowd. Hundreds of people were injured and ten people died.
A lawsuit for damages has now been filed against Travis Scott and the festival organizer, which is why the rapper should soon justify himself in court.
Billie Eilish, on the other hand, can continue her tour, which will also take her to Germany for three concerts at the end of June. She wants to appear in Frankfurt, Cologne and Berlin.
