Billie Eilish halts concert to help fan with breathing difficulties

February 07, 2022

Singer Billie Eilish halted a concert on her World Tour to help a fan who needed medical assistance.

The 20-year-old was performing in Atlanta, when she spotted the crowd-member who was having breathing difficulties.

She stopped her show, and asked staff if they had an inhaler and could help her.

Eilish addressed the audience, asking them to "give her some time" and to "not crowd".

Once the situation was under control, she continued her concert to rapturous applause.

"I wait for people to be okay before I carry on," she said - an apparent reference to the recent Travis Scott concert, in which 10 people died in a crowd surge.

This was not the first time Eilish had stopped one of her shows, as in 2018, she paused her performance to give an audience member who felt faint, a glass of water.
