Justin Bieber started crying when talking about wanting to ‘protect’ Billie Eilish from what he went through at a young age in the music industry
Justin Bieber became visibly emotional while discussing his protective feelings for Billie Eilish during a recent interview on Apple Music’s Beats 1. Promoting his new album Changes, the 25-year-old singer opened up about his connection with the 18-year-old star, who has been a long-time fan of his music.
When interviewer Zane Lowe inquired about his relationship with Eilish, Bieber teared up, expressing the uncertainty of life’s opportunities. “I don’t know how many chances I’m going to get,” he said, becoming emotional. “We never know how many opportunities we have with anybody. I’m tearing up thinking about it, especially with the recent loss of Kobe [Bryant].”
Bieber confirmed his feelings of protectiveness toward Eilish, stating, “I definitely feel protective of her.” He elaborated on the challenges he faced as a young artist, saying, “It was hard for me being that young in the industry, not knowing where to turn. Everyone tells you they love you, but they can turn their backs on you in an instant.”
Having been open about his own struggles with depression, Bieber expressed his desire to support Eilish in any way he can. “I just kind of let her do her thing, but if she ever needs me, I’m going to be here for her,” he assured.
Eilish, who has shared childhood photos showcasing her admiration for Bieber, later posted a clip from the interview on her Instagram with the caption “stream changes.” The two stars first met at Coachella in 2019 and later collaborated on a remix of her hit song “Bad Guy.”
“I just want to protect her. I don’t want her to lose it or go through what I went through,” Bieber said, emphasizing the importance of being there for Eilish. “I don’t wish that upon anybody. So, if she ever needs me, I’m just a call away.”Tuongthenaodilaybainguoikhackhongbietnhuc
