🎤🍅 Hold Your Tomatoes, Fans! Billie Eilish and Finneas Speak Out on The Hailstorm of Love…And Objects! 😳💘
TL;DR: The glamorous world of music may seem all glitz and glamour, but when fans turn their love into a ‘show and throw’ game, it loses its shine. Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas have aired their feelings about the rising trend of fans hurling objects onstage at artists. While recognizing it as an outpouring of love, they make a plea to fans to hold their enthusiasm… and their objects! 🛑🚀
Ladies, gentlemen, and all you enthusiastic concert-goers out there, have you ever found yourself so captivated by an artist’s performance that you just felt compelled to hurl your smartphone towards them? 📱✨ Like, they’re so awesome, they might as well have your iPhone 12, right? 🤷♀️
Well, apparently, you’re not alone. The disturbing trend of fans lobbing objects at artists has recently spiked, with Harry Styles, Drake, Kelsea Ballerini, Pink, Lil Nas X, Bebe Rexha, Ava Max, and Blackpink’s Lisa, among the casualties. But in the midst of the bombardment, pop superstars Billie Eilish and Finneas have bravely stepped forward to say, “Hey! We love you, but please stop pelting us with your stuff!” 😂
Now, while Billie admits that this form of fan interaction is hardly groundbreaking, saying, “I’ve been getting hit onstage with things for like, literally, six years, I don’t know why this is like new,” she also acknowledges that the excitement can take a dangerous turn. 🙀
Meanwhile, Finneas chips in with an enlightening perspective. Fans aren’t exactly lobbing the latest crop of tomatoes and oranges at them in a huff; it’s usually their phones to capture a selfie of a lifetime! 📸🤳 Not a comforting fact though, as Billie laments, “It’s absolutely infuriating when you’re up there.”
They do get it, they know the intentions behind these rocketing phones and other paraphernalia are generally innocent, even sweet, and certainly not malicious. But it still stings (both metaphorically and literally, we assume) when you’re on the receiving end of an iPhone 12 travelling at Mach 1. 🚀😖
“Your actions come from a place of love, but it can be risky,” said Eilish, whose experience in dodging incoming objects dates back years. 🎯🤾♀️ And Finneas, ever the protective big brother, sternly warned, “Don’t do it — we get it but don’t do it.”
So, here’s the deal, all you love-struck concert attendees. Our beloved artists appreciate your enthusiasm, your commitment, and yes, even your iPhones. But next time, rather than sending your possessions sailing across the crowd, why not keep the love on a verbal basis? 🗣️💕 Because when it comes down to it, it’s the cheering, the singing along, and the atmosphere you bring that really makes a concert special, not a hailstorm of random objects. 🎶🎉
Is it time to rewrite concert etiquette, or is this just another form of fan expression we need to get used to? Are we crossing boundaries in our attempt to connect, or is it all just harmless fun until someone loses an eye…or an iPhone? 🤔 What do you think? Is it time to hold your love and your objects? 💭📢
