London: American singer Billie Eilish briefly paused her show at London's O2 arena after several fans got into difficulties in sweltering temperatures.

"Are you all ok?" she asked. "People were fainting and getting pulled out. It's hot, I know".

After fans said they were "squished", she halted the music until the pressure in front of the stage eased, reports BBC.

"Take a step back, give everybody some space," Eilish said. "If someone looks a little woozy, just tell someone."

"Don't try to save feelings."

The singer, earlier, asked the O2 security team to distribute water to the audience.

This is not the first time that Eilish has stopped a concert to check on her fans.

In February, she interrupted her Happier Than Ever tour show in Atlanta after noticing someone struggling to breathe, and refused to proceed until they could access an inhaler, the report said.

Later that month, she also paused a show in New York's Madison Square Garden, telling fans: "If you want to sit down, you are allowed. Go ahead, you're good. Sit down, take a breath." (UNI)
