Try as you might to find it, there’s no sibling rivalry here. In her Elle cover story published on Tuesday (April 28), Billie Eilish put to bed rumors that she and her older brother and closest collaborator, Finneas, had a falling-out. The rumors came about when Eilish embarked on the Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour, her first trek without Finneas by her side.
Despite what fans thought, the choice for Finneas not to hit the road with his sister was not the result of a feud — it was a mutual decision years in the making, according to the sibling duo. And Eilish made sure to set the record straight.
“Finneas and I have never and will never have a falling-out, ever in our lives,” “There’s nothing else in the world like sibling relationships.”
“We got so busy that we would only see each other right before going on stage,” Eilish explained, sharing that Finneas and her drummer Andrew, her only two band members when she started out, were on a platform that was difficult to break away from. “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.’”
