As per the reports by BBC, on Saturday, Billie Eilish was forced to put her concert on pause after she witnessed that fans were facing difficulties at London’s O2 arena due to hot temperatures inside the auditorium. Concerned about her fans, the Happier Than Ever singer said, "Are you all ok? People were fainting and getting pulled out. It’s hot, I know," adding, "Take a step back, give everybody some space. If someone looks a little woozy, just tell someone. Don’t try to save feelings." Later, thanking all the security and staff at the venue, Eilish said, "I appreciate you."

This is not the first time that Billie Eilish stopped her show owing to the crowd's safety, earlier also the Ocean Eyes singer paused her concert as she found one of her fans was suffering from some breathing issues and immediately called for help. The singer was performing at the State Farm Area in Atlanta, Georgia, where a fan was spotted facing some trouble. Billie asked her fan if she needed an inhaler and later asked her crew, "Do we have an inhaler? Can we just grab one?" She also told the crowd to stand away from her and give her breathing space. She quipped," Give her some time. Don't crowd."
