Billie Eilish is speaking out after a fan fainted during her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour. While performing in Los Angeles, the 22-year-old paused her set to address the dangers of camping out for days before concerts.

"This is what happens when you camp outside for days and days and days", Eilish said in a now-viral TikTok video, met with resistance from the crowd. She doubled down, urging fans to "drink water, sleep, and get some nourishment".

Though her comments may have sounded stern, Eilish balanced them with love for her audience: "You're so dedicated, I love you so much, but take care of yourselves, geez. I love you."

Fans responded humorously, calling her "literally mother" and applauding her for "gentle parenting". Others echoed her advice, saying, "Europe, listen to her. I don't want to camp for days!"

This isn't the only incident Eilish has dealt with on tour. Days earlier, she was hit in the face by an object while performing What Was I Made For? in Arizona. The singer urged fans to stop throwing things on stage, saying, "It’s absolutely infuriating when you’re up there. People just get excited, and it can be dangerous."
