Billie Eilish Is Touring Without Her Brother Finneas O’Connell For The First Time

According to her brother, producer, and collaborator Finneas O’Connell, Billie Eilish has transitioned from an adolescent sensation to a genuine adult.

It’s one of the reasons why, for the first time, O’Connell will not accompany his Grammy-winning little sister on her “Hit Me Hard and Soft” tour, except a few tour dates, to back her up on guitar, as he has on each of her previous tours.

“There were many years when I felt like I would never miss a show because, you know, Billie was 16 or 17, and I really had this feeling of needing to be there for every minute,” O’Connell told Vogue in an interview published on Tuesday.

“The truth is,” he told me, “over the last few years of touring she’s really become an adult.”

Eilish’s adulthood has manifested itself in what O’Connell calls the 22-year-old’s “disciplined way of existing on tour.”

“She sleeps through the day to make sure she’s rested for the show,” he said, adding that she does hours of physical therapy and spends time on vocal warm-ups to prepare.

O’Connell revealed on Monday that his “For Cryin’ Out Loud!” solo tour will begin in February, and his most recent solo album of the same name was published last week.

O’Connell and Eilish’s parents, Maggie Baird and Patrick O’Connell, have also been regulars on her previous tours. Baird handles everything from scheduling to feeding Eilish, and the elder O’Connell serves on her stage crew.

“I will get your tampons and cook you a burrito at a moment’s notice, even if I have to use an iron to do it,” Baird told Vogue in Tuesday’s article.

While Baird believes that having a “mom on tour” may assist all singers, she and her husband will also make themselves scarce this time around, allowing Eilish to embark on a tour that they regard as similar to her “college years.”

Eilish will not be alone, however. Nat and Alex Wolff, an indie-rock duo (and actors) who Eilish said Vogue are some of her dearest friends, will be her opening act on the tour, which began late last month. She’s also embarking on her first tour with her own live band, accompanied by some of her childhood friends.

“Hopefully,” Eilish told Vogue, “it’s going to be the f***ing fun.”

Jennifer Lopez Reflects On How Her ‘World Exploded’ In The Past Year

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Struggle to Sell Their $68M Mega-Mansion After Divorce

Jennifer Lopez is getting honest about her life.

Lopez spoke with comedian Nikki Glaser for Interview magazine about the last year of her life, which included the cancelation of her planned concert tour and the dissolution of her marriage to Ben Affleck.

Glaser and Lopez began their conversation discussing Lopez’s role as Judy Robles in the film “Unstoppable.” Robles is the mother of Anthony Robles, an athlete born with one leg who went on to become a successful wrestler.

Glaser connected Jennifer’s training for the part to the star’s “struggle with low self-esteem.”

Jennifer Lopez Reflects On How Her ‘World Exploded’ In The Past Year

“My whole life has been proving my enoughness,” she stated. “Dealing with feeling like you’re enough starts when you’re very young, and it takes a long time to figure out because you don’t look at yourself that way. Something is driving you and your decisions, and you don’t understand why.”

Jennifer attributed some of her inspiration to childhood memories of “being ignored, being a middle child, having a very outgoing mom and a dad who worked all day and all night, and feeling like you weren’t important, like you weren’t a priority.”

“That embeds in you, and I believe your parents are doing their best. Even now, as a parent, I have a lot more empathy for what they’ve gone through,” she explained. “I love my parents, but I can see how their personalities and upbringing influenced me. You won’t even know till those traits show in your actual grownup relationships.”

The talk then shifted to her recent months, which have not been easy for Jennifer.

Jennifer felt a sense of accomplishment after working on the movie, “This Is Me…Now” music, short film, and documentary.

“I’m good,” she said. “I did all the work and look at where I am, and then it was like my whole f**king world exploded.”

Lopez’s highly publicized relationship with Affleck, which saw them reuniting decades after their first engagement ended, received even more attention in August when she filed for divorce.

It appears that she is now gazing forward rather than back.

“Now I’m excited, when you say you’re just going to be on your own,” Lopez laughed. “Yes, I’m not looking for anybody, because everything that I’ve done over the past 25, 30 years, being in these different challenging situations, what can I f**kng do when it’s just me flying on my own.”

“What if I’m just free?” she continued.

“Unstoppable” is set for a limited release in theaters in December.
