Elton John admits to being a Billie Eilish fan and gives the singer-songwriter enormous praise.

Billie Eilish has been a major talking point in 2019. The seventeen-year-old pop star captured the attention of teens with her edgy look and captured the adoration of fans with her music.

Earlier this year, Eilish released her debut album When We Fall Asleep Where Do We Go? which she has received high praise for from critics and fans alike. She made headlines when the legendary Paul McCartney FaceTimed her and her parents and now, Sir Elton John has named himself her latest fan.

Speaking with Complex’s Pigeons & Planes, John said: “Her album [When We Fall Asleep Where Do We Go?] was amazing. She’s come a long way very quickly. She’s an incredible word-of-mouth artist. I can’t wait to see her live because she has something very special going on. Talent like hers doesn’t come along very often.”
