“But literally,” the “Birds of a Feather” singer captioned a photo of her bruise
Billie Eilish wound up with a gnarly bruise after taking a tumble onstage.
On Friday, Oct. 18, the “Lunch” singer, 22, was performing a show at New York City’s Madison Square Garden as part of her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour when fans captured a video of her tripping and falling on a set of steps as she left the stage.
Early Tuesday morning, Eilish re-shared the clip on her Instagram Stories, which was captioned “billie falling down the stairs at msg.” In addition to video, she also shared a photo of a large purple bruise on her thigh.
“But literally,” she wrote over the image.
The day before her fall, Madonna attended one of Eilish’s three Madison Square Garden concerts alongside her twin 12-year-old daughters Stella and Estere. After the show, the Grammy winner posed for photos with the 66-year-old pop icon and her girls.
“It’s nice to get out ……………. 🕊️ @billieeilish .🤍,” Madonna captioned a carousel of photos from the evening on Instagram, which marked her first public outing since the death of her younger brother Christopher Ciccone.
For her part, Eilish didn’t let her tumble slow her down. On Saturday, Oct. 19, she performed “Wildflower” and “Birds of a Feather” during her fourth appearance as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.
Next up, the singer is set to have a small break before her tour continues on Nov. 2 with a stop at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
Eilish’s recent tumble isn’t the first time she’s had a mishap onstage. In 2022, the “Bad Guy” artist tripped during Coachella as the lights went out.
She had a sense of humor about her accident, telling the crowd, “I just ate s—! Ouch! You guys, I just ate ass up here,” in a clip shared online at the time.
Eilish went on to assure her fans, “I’m good. It was dark! Ouch! I tripped on the f—ing fire thing!”
