Billie Eilish Reveals The Moment She Knew She'd 'Lost All Her Friends' And 'Couldn't Relate To Anyone'

Billie Eilish has opened up about one of the difficulties she has faced since she became famous.

As Shakespeare wrote in Henry IV Pt 2 - "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."

This is something Billie Eilish discovered after her quick rise to fame at such a young age.

While many people dream of being famous, Eilish shared that her success made her feel lonely and isolated.

The 'What Was I Made For?' singer talked about how hard it was to make real friends because of her celebrity status.

Eilish appeared on the BBC podcast Miss Me? and chatted with hosts Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver about her struggles with fame. 

She said: "Well, I lost all of my friends when I got famous."

"I suddenly was famous, and I couldn't relate to anybody. It was tough. It was really hard."

The singer then spoke about a particular moment that made her realize how tough things had become.

It was her 20th birthday party, where she noticed that all the people there were employed by her.

She said: "And then it was my 20th birthday and I remember looking around the room and it was only people that I employ." 

"And all 15 years or more older than me."

To make things worse, one of her employees quit, and she never saw them again.

"And it was the worst thing that happened to me," she said.

"And that made me realize like 'oh wait, this is a job.' If they left me, they would never see me again."

Despite these challenges, the Oscar-winning singer has stayed close to her friend Zoe.

She has also worked hard to build a circle of good friends.

"Exactly a year ago, I reconnected with a bunch of old friends and now, I have so many friends," said Eilish.

"I have a crew now! I could literally cry about it. It's been the greatest thing that's happened to me."

The singer remembered a trip to Coachella with her friends that made her emotional.

She said: "I was like, 'Guys, I have friends and I just love you guys so much, and it's been so long since I've had friends'. 

"I cried… and it's literally because I actually have friendship now again."

Billie and her brother Finneas made history by becoming the youngest artists ever to win two Oscars, taking home Best Original Song for 'No Time to Die' and 'What Was I Made For?'.
