Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong, and Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke reportedly have all met Billie Eilish backstage. Grohl revealed a sad Keith Richards recently.
Billie Eilish’s tour manager Brian Marquis told Rolling Stone in a new piece about the meetings, “So many Gen X icons have kids who are just the right age to be Billie Eilish fans, and they’ve come backstage to say hi and be hero dads for a night: Dave Grohl, Billie Joe Armstrong, Thom Yorke.
Marquis says Grohl and Armstrong were the sweetest guys ever, but Yorke was a little tough. ‘He was just as you’d expect—curmudgeonly, perturbed.’ According to Marquis, Yorke went up to Eilish and mumbled, almost grumpily, ‘You’re the only one doing anything f*cking interesting nowadays.’
Dave Grohl was filmed dancing with a famous female singer from the 90’s recently. Bille Eilish has been upgraded to the main stage at the Reading & Leeds festivals, alongside Foo Fighters. She’ll perform between AJ Tracey and Anderson .Paak at the shows, set to take place later this month. Stefflon Don will replace her on the Radio 1 stage. Festival Republic’s Managing Director, Melvin Benn, said, “Following the meteoric rise of Billie Eilish since we first booked her on the line-up, we are thrilled to be moving her to the Main Stage to allow as many fans as possible to see what we are sure is going to be one of the highlights of the weekend.”
