Billie Eilish has responded to Lana Del Rey claiming that she is the “voice of our generation”.Eilish appeared as a special surprise guest during Del Rey’s headlining set of Coachella during weekend one of the Californian festival.

The two performed a duet of Del Rey’s ‘Video Games’ and Eilish’s ‘Ocean Eyes’.Introducing the ‘Bad Guy’ singer to the stage, the ‘Born To Die’ singer said: “That’s the voice of our generation, the voice of your generation.

I’m so fucking grateful she’s standing next to me right now, singing my favourite song of hers.”While appearing as a guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Eilish addressed Del Rey’s comment, saying: “It’s ridiculous because she’s the voice of my generation.

She’s really one of the top three reasons that I am the person that I am and the artist that I am and that I even started making music in the first place.
