David Farnor | On 23, Feb 2021
Apple TV+ will host a live premiere of its new documentary, Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry.
The film charts the rise of Eilish as she tours and records the album that changes her life. Directed by RJ Cutler, the documentary offers a deeply intimate look at the teenager’s journey, telling the true coming-of-age story of the singer-songwriter as the 17-year-old navigates life on the road, on stage and at home with her family, while writing, recording and releasing her debut album. It will be released on Apple TV+ on 26th February, but before then, a live online will be hosted by DJ Zane Lowe on 25th February.
The event will include an exclusive and intimate performance and conversation with Eilish, plus a discussion with director RJ Cutler and “other special surprises”.
The festivities kick off at 2am UK time and will be available to watch online for free through the Apple TV App, Apple Music App, and Eilish’s own YouTube channel. Immediately following the event, Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry will debut on Apple TV+ for all subscribers.
Ahead of the premiere, Eilish has also released a live audio performance of “ilomilo,” the song that features the lyric from which the film gets its title. Performed at the Toyota Center in Houston on 10th October 2019, a portion of the performance appears in the forthcoming film, but the entire performance can now be heard for the first time from today.
