Billie Eilish has had an impressive, quickly-growing career over the past few years, including seven Grammys, an Oscar, and recognition as one of the most popular young artists in music.
Over the weekend, Eilish added a brand new feat to her ongoing list of big moves as she became the youngest headliner in Coachella history. The 20-year-old singer headlined the festival’s main stage, joined by Khalid and, most notably, Gorillaz/Blur’s Damon Albarn.
“This is the craziest s*** I’ve ever experienced. This man changed my life in a lot of ways, and changed my complete view of what music could be and what art could be and what creation could be,” Eilish told the audience with Albarn on stage. “My first favorite band ever was the Good, the Bad & the Queen [Albarn’s supergroup, which played Coachella in 2007, featuring the Clash’s Paul Simonon of the Clash, the Verve’s Simon Tong, and Fela Kuti drummer Tony Allen]. I was 6 years old. And Blur changed the world. And f***in’ Gorillaz changed the world. And this man’s a genius, and that’s that.”
