Billie Eilish was struck in the face with an object during a concert in Arizona

Billie Eilish had an object thrown at her during a performance this week.

The 22-year-old singer was sitting cross-legged on stage at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona on Friday, December 13, when what appeared to be a bracelet hit her in the face while she was singing her song “What Was?” “I made sure of that?”

In fan footage shared on TikTok, Eilish can be seen wincing and turning her head away from the crowd before they gasped and booed in outrage at the action.

Eilish then continued singing her Oscar-winning song from that year Barbie movie soundtrack before he casually tosses the object aside.

Eilish began her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour in late September. Once her North American shows are finished, she has dates scheduled in Europe and Australia starting in February.

During the Barbie World premiere in July 2023, Eilish said The Hollywood Reporter that she was beaten on stage for “literally six years” when she asked fans not to throw objects.

“People just get excited and it can be dangerous,” she explained.

“It’s absolutely annoying when you’re up there,” Eilish added. “I have mixed feelings because when you’re up there it’s awesome. But you know it’s out of love and they’re just trying to give you something. You’re in a vulnerable position, but I’ve been dealing with things for years.”

Celebrities like Wiz Khalifa, Nicki Minaj and Harry Styles have also been hit by objects while performing in recent years.

Pink was also shocked when a fan threw ashes onto the stage at BST Hyde Park in London in June 2023, while Bebe Rexha suffered a black eye when she was hit by a phone during her concert at The Rooftop on Pier 17 this month.
