This is my brother.
Were going to do some little acoustic songs, so itll be pretty quiet and chill.
So if you wanna sit or whatever…
It feels really hopeful and good in here, Eilish said right before playing the last song.
I just feel honored to be here.
Its a really, really scary time and its been so devastating.
L.A. is my favorite place in the world and my only home.
We grew up here, and I care about it so much.
Its the greatest place in the world.
Its been so, so devastating whats going on.
To everyone, we love you.
We will not forget about you.
We will keep doing this for you.
