Yungblud, the British musician known for hits like “Parents” and “God Save Me, But Don’t Drown Me Out,” has been candid about his struggles with anxiety and depression. In a recent interview, he recounted a memorable moment from Coachella 2019 that has become infamous in music circles: the time he was photographed with Billie Eilish.
The Coachella Photo Incident
The photo in question features Yungblud and Eilish both wearing shorts. However, Yungblud’s leather pants were so tight that they left little to the imagination, leading to an unintended exposure. He explained that he had changed into shorts for comfort after performing alongside Eilish, but did so without putting on new underwear.
Yungblud’s Take on the Incident
In the interview, Yungblud shared his thoughts on the situation:
- He noted that when it gets hot during performances or photoshoots, he prefers to switch to shorts.
- After his performance at Coachella, someone suggested taking a photo together while they were both in shorts.
- Yungblud humorously remarked that someone should have pointed out his exposed genitals before the photo was taken, but he found it amusing how people reacted to the unintentional exposure.
He stated, “I think I got some flak for it back then because people thought I was being provocative or whatever.”
Reactions from Friends
When asked if friends still bring up this embarrassing moment, Yungblud laughed, saying, “Yeah! One of my mates has got one framed in their house.”
Billie Eilish’s Response
Billie Eilish did not respond to inquiries about whether she remembered the incident or her thoughts on it at the time.
Conclusion
While the incident is now largely viewed as lighthearted by those involved, its impact on public perception remains ambiguous.
