Billie Eilish is publicly addressing speculation that she and brother Finneas had a “falling out.”
“I heard somebody say, ‘Did you guys hear Finneas and Billie had a falling-out?’” Eilish, 24, told Elle in a joint interview with her sibling and collaborator, 28, published on Tuesday, April 28.
“Finneas and I have never and will never have a falling-out, ever in our lives,” she continued. “We’ll get in the biggest f***ing fight you’ve ever heard of in your life, and five minutes later, we’re back, laughing and making music. It’s sibling s***. There’s nothing else in the world like sibling relationships.”
Eilish added, “If I never saw Finneas at all, I might literally never make a song again.”
Rumors of a feud between the famous siblings arose after Finneas (real name Finneas Baird O’Connell) skipped Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour, which ran from September 2024 to November 2025.
“It was a few years in the making,” Eilish said of the decision for Finneas to skip the shows, a mutual choice between the pair. “We got so busy that we would only see each other right before going onstage. Finneas and Andrew [Eilish’s touring drummer], who were the only band members I had back in the day, performed on some sort of platform that was hard to leave. Finneas was stuck in a tower — like Rapunzel! He never said it, but I was feeling like, ‘You have more to be doing than being my band member in the back.’”
Finneas added, “It’s basically true that I don’t like touring, but I love the show part of it. And I love being around Billie. This past year, when she would be on tour for months, I missed her a lot.”
In the trailer for the Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) movie, Eilish cried as she read a note from Finneas wishing her good luck before she went out on the road.
“Almost 7 years ago to the day we started your first headline tour of North America,” Finneas wrote to his younger sister. “It’s been the joy of my life to travel the world with you three times over and watch you hold every person who comes to your shows in the palm of your hand. Good luck tonight but you don’t need it, no one does it like you. Can’t wait to see you soon. Love, Pinch.”

Eilish said to the camera, “It’s gonna be my first show ever without him.”
Finneas and Eilish have been collaborating since her 2015 breakout single, “Ocean Eyes.” The siblings have gone on to win 10 Grammys together, including their most recent Song of the Year win for Eilish’s song “Wildflower.” They became the first three-time winners in the history of the category following their previous wins for “Bad Guy” in 2020 and “What Was I Made For?” in 2024.
In addition to working with Eilish, Finneas embarked on a solo career in 2019 with his debut EP, Blood Harmony. He later released the albums Optimist (2021) and For Cryin’ Out Loud! (2024). He also released The Dream, a record with fellow singer-songwriter Ashe under the group name The Favors, in 2025.
