Billie Eilish briefly stopped her London gig at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday night after fans began to struggle in the hot temperatures.

The 20-year-old singer paused to check fans were ‘all okay’ as they were squashed at the front of the stage. This, with the combination of hot temperatures, made conditions difficult, particularly for the fans in the front rows.

Billie urged fans to take a step back in order to ‘give everybody some space’ and asked the security team at the O2 to hand out water to the audience. ‘Are you squished a little bit?

If someone looks a little woozy, just tell someone, okay? Don’t try to save feelings,’ she told the crowd. ‘People were fainting and getting pulled out,’ she continued as she halted the show briefly. ‘It’s hot, I know, it’s crowded, it’s hot,’ she said.
