'I've been in pain since I was nine': Billie Eilish reveals secret health battle
Billie Eilish has revealed just how much pain she's in due to some physical injuries she's suffered on stage and due to hypermobility.
The singer, 22, spoke candidly to Vogue about her health battle, saying it sometimes makes her "furious" when people write it off and tell her to wait until she gets older.
"I've basically been in pain since I was nine," the Ocean Eyes and Birds of a Feather singer told the publication.

"Growing up, I'd always hear people be like, 'Just wait until you're older! You're going to have so much pain!' And I remember being so furious."
She added she has had "some really dark times on tour".
According to NHS Inform, joint hypermobility is when "some or all of a person's joints have an unusually large range of movement".

It comes after the star's mother Maggie Baird, an actress and singer in her own right, defended Eilish against ''nepo baby" claims.
After a clip of her making an appearance on the sitcom Friends, Baird told Glamour magazine in an interview: "I think it's hilarious."
"And I'm like, 'Did you know that I got that episode of Friends because I was about to lose my health insurance?'"

She called her and her husband "working class actors" and said they never experienced the level of fame Eilish and her sibling Finneas experienced.
"I think that people don't really understand there's a whole industry of people who are creative and they're working and they're struggling, and they make perfectly happy lives, and they feel creative, and they feel fulfilled," she said.
