Billie Eilish Hit in the Face by an Object Thrown Onstage at Arizona Concert

Pop superstar Billie Eilish became the latest performer to be hit by a flying object – seemingly a necklace or bracelet – tossed by an apparently overenthusiastic and certainly moronic audience member.

An unhurt but clearly startled and irritated Eilish, sitting on the stage, handled it with aplomb, briefly pausing the song as she regained her composure, began singing again, and casually tossed away the jewelry.

The incident occurred Friday evening at Glendale, Arizona’s Desert Diamond Arena. The musician was performing her song “What Was I Made For?” when the jangly object came sailing onto the stage, seeming to hit Eilish’s head before dropping to her chest and then the floor. 

Eilish flinches briefly and goes silent as many in the crowd yell “No!” to the tosser with someone heard shouting what sounds like “I’m sorry”.

After quickly resuming the song, Eilish reaches over to pick up the item and flings it away.

The moment was a reminder of a spate of such incidents last year. Cardi B had a drink thrown at her in Las Vegas, Ava Max was slapped by an audience member at a concert in Los Angeles, and Bebe Rexha was hit by a tossed cellphone at a show in New York City.

Fans online rallied behind Billie and expressed their condemnation of those who continue to throw objects at singers onstage, a phenomenon that has unfortunately skyrocketed in the past years.

The concert was part of Billie's ongoing "Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour", in support of her latest album of the same name. While on the tour, it was announced that the parent album had received seven nominations for the upcoming 67th Grammy Awards, including the top prize, Album of the Year.

It follows her two previous albums, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" and "Happier Than Ever", in receiving a nod for the night's biggest honor, which the former won.

Last year, at the premiere of Barbie in Los Angeles, Billie and her brother Finneas weighed in on the growing trend of fans throwing objects onstage during concerts. While they understood how it happened but couldn't justify it.

"I've been getting hit onstage with things for like, literally, six years, I don't know why this is like new," Billie told The Hollywood Reporter. "People just get excited and it can be dangerous."

While they reasoned that it's occasionally coming from fans who are excited to interact with the performer in some way, like throwing phones for pictures, it can still be exhausting to deal with, not to mention damaging.

"It's absolutely infuriating when you're up there," Billie said. "I have mixed feelings about it, because when you're up there it blows. But you know it's out of love and they're just trying to give you something. You're in a vulnerable position, but I've been getting hit with stuff for like years."

Finneas then defiantly stated: "Don't do it — we get it but don't do it," and his sister added: "Don't throw things onstage, but we love you; it's very sweet."
