Famous pop singer Billie Eilish was hit by a bracelet thrown by a fan during a performance. On the 13th (local time), foreign media such as Rolling Stone and Fox News reported that Billie Eilish was assaulted while performing in Glendale, Arizona, USA. In the video at the time, she, who was sitting in front of the stage singing, was hit in the face by an object that appeared to be a blue bracelet.

After being hit by the bracelet, Billie Eilish briefly stopped singing and made a grimace. However, after about one verse of accompaniment, she continued singing. At the end of the video, there was also a scene where she picked up the bracelet that had fallen to the floor with an indifferent expression and threw it to the side of the stage. Some audience members booed the person who threw the bracelet and shouted "Sorry" toward him.
After the performance, Billie Eilish said, "Fortunately, I was not injured," and urged, "Throwing something is a dangerous act, so please do not throw things not only at me but also at other singers." She continued, "Over the past six years, I have been hit several times by objects thrown by the audience on stage," adding, "The most common was a cellphone, which was meant to take a photo together. But this is very upsetting and dangerous behavior." Online, there were also voices criticizing the attitude of fans. Overseas netizens responded with comments such as, "Why on earth do they throw things?", "It's a low-level concert culture. They should be ashamed," "Fans should show love, not throw things," and "It's fortunate that it was a bracelet; if it had been something else, just thinking about it is terrifying."

Meanwhile, incidents of singers being hit by objects thrown by fans during performances occur more frequently than expected. Last month, singer Jack Bryan had to temporarily stop his concert after being hit twice on the leg by objects thrown by someone on stage, and last year, famous singer Bebe Rexha was also hit by a cellphone during a performance and had to get three stitches on her face.
