Finneas has opened up about going on tour without his sister and collaborator Billie Eilish, sharing that it is “very bittersweet”.The musician and producer has joined Eilish on tour for nearly the entirety of her career with her current ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’ tour marking the first time the duo are not on the road together.The Grammy and Academy Award-winning artist, songwriter, and producer opted out of joining his sister on tour due to the release of his second solo album ‘For Crying Out Loud!’ and his forthcoming solo tour.While appearing on Jake Shane‘s Therapuss podcast, Finneas opened up about not touring with the ‘What Was I Made For?’ singer. “It’s been very bittersweet.

I only decided to do it because I knew that I couldn’t be in two places at once. I can’t do my own tours and her tour at the same time, and I don’t want to prevent her from touring as much as she wants to tour,” he said.He continued: “And then the sweet part has just been I’ve seen the show a few times and it’s amazing.

I think her show is incredible. It doesn’t suffer at all because I’m not there. She’s great, and I’ve come out and done a song or two, but I really think she’s doing the best show she’s ever done.

So that’s lovely.“I call her constantly. You know, a lot of the time she’s just kind of being an athlete and resting and doing physical therapy and stuff like that,” he added.
