Billie Eilish takes the opposite view of many artists who have decided to ban phones from their concerts. Among the great promoters of the principle, we count Jack White, Paul McCartney and Alicia Keys.
A choice that Billie Eilish understands, but which she does not agree with at all, and rightly so. “My generation, and the generations below, we love to film things. All I do is film and take pictures of things – all the time,” the 24-year-old pop star told NME.
Generational habits
“When I was young and I went to concerts or festivals, I filmed every minute – and then I watched every video I had taken over and over again, until I even memorized the sounds of the crowd,” she continued. “I think you shouldn’t spit “An important part of the culture is that we’re all on our fucking phones! It really connects us!
These statements accompany the release of Billie Eilish : Hit Me Hard and Soft, The Tour (Live in 3D), a concert film co-directed with James Cameron which the star is delighted with. “When my mother told me that James Cameron wanted to ask me to make a film of the concert in 3D, it seemed like the most brilliant thing in the world,” Billie Eilish recalled.
« I love this tour and this show so much. I was starting to hate the idea of not being able to remember it. But when Jim proposed this idea to me, I realized that I could relive this moment forever. So my answer was a resounding yes! »
