Billie Eilish said she didn’t see sunlight for three days during her hectic touring schedule.
The ‘Bad Guy’ singer is currently on the European leg of her Happier Than Ever tour and admitted she went days without seeing natural light due to her show schedule.
However, the 20-year-old has been finding time during her busy practice and performance timetable to see the light of day – even if for an hour or two – despite having 'hated the summertime'.
“I hate the heat and I hate sunlight, bright shining sunlight. Literally, every single June of my life has sucked. I hate June. You know why? Gemini season,” she explained. “It's a cursed period of time.

“But we're rewriting it. We're going to have a great month. So I'm putting up dreamcatchers and doing some spells, because f*** June. And July,” she told The Sunday Times.
Elsewhere in the interview, the upcoming Glastonbury headliner explained that her team have come up with a non-sunlight solution to help Billie beat her jetlag - which anyone would be bound to suffer from having travelled 47 cities in over six months on her tour.
Instead, her tour manager gives the star candles to light in her dressing room, with a different scent for each continent.
“It feels like I’m never moving”, she told the publication of her life on the road. “It feels very limbo.”
The singer is set to become the youngest-ever solo headliner to grace Glastonbury festival later this week, before heading up two nights at London’s O2 Arena.
At another one of her UK shows in Manchester, Billie made a surprising reference to Johnny Depp’s recent defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.
The 'Therefore I am’' hitmaker performed a new track during the show, 'TV', along with her brother and co-writer Finneas O’Connell on the first night of her two AO Arena concerts on 7 June.
Sitting on a stool while Finneas played the acoustic guitar, Billie told the crowd: "We haven’t played a new song live before it’s out since 2017 or 2018. This is one we just wrote, and we just wanted to play for you."
The 20-year-old sang: "What’s the point of anything, all of my friends are missing again, that’s what happens when you fall in love."
And then, seemingly referencing Depp and Heard’s case, Billie sang the lyrics: “The internet’s gone wild watching movie stars on trial, while they’re overturning Roe v Wade.” You can read more on that here.
