Billie Eilish isn’t British, even if her name does sound like a pastoral Cornish hamlet. She did write the latest James Bond theme, however, for the upcoming No Time to Die, and as we all know, James Bond is a British action legend and sex symbol second only to Paddington.
So days after debuting “No Time to Die,” Eilish performed the new Bond theme at the 2020 BRIT Awards on Tuesday, accompanied by Hans Zimmer, Johnny Marr, and her brother and collaborator, Finneas. As BRIT Awards host Jack Whitehall introduced her in his opening monologue, she is “the only teenager in the world who makes Greta Thunberg look lazy.”
After the “world exclusive” performance, Eilish went from “No Time to Die” to “so time to cry” when she won the show’s coveted Best International Female Solo Artist award, and thanked the London audience. “I’ve felt very hated recently,” she said, “and when I was on the stage and I saw you guys all smiling at me, it genuinely made me want to cry. And I want to cry right now, so thank you.”

Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi has topped the winners at the 2020 Brit awards, though a strong year for rap music prevented a clean sweep of his four nominations. Capaldi picked up best new artist and best song for Someone You Loved, which spent seven weeks at No 1 in spring 2019, later topping the US charts and earning a Grammy nomination. His debut album Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent – its title typical of the dry self-deprecation that has won him millions of fans on social media – was the biggest seller in the UK in 2019, but it lost the top prize of album of the year to south London rapper Dave and his emotionally fraught Psychodrama. Dave, who in his performance earlier in the evening called Boris Johnson racist, decried the lack of support for survivors of the Grenfell tragedy and called attention to the disparity in the media treatment of Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, used his acceptance speech to celebrate his fellow south Londoners, and to acknowledge incarcerated Britons including his brother, Christopher. Dave calls Boris Johnson 'real racist' in politically charged Brits performance – video In September 2019, Psychodrama won the other top album award in British pop music, the Mercury prize. Dave is only the second ever artist to win both, following the Arctic Monkeys’ wins for their 2006 debut Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not. Dave had been this year’s joint top Brits nominee with Capaldi on four.

Harry Styles kept it classy and cool on the red carpet of the 2020 BRIT Awards Tuesday, just days after he was mugged at knifepoint over the weekend.
PEOPLE confirms Styles, 26, was robbed while out in London on Friday night when he was approached by a man with a knife who demanded cash from the “Fine Line” singer.
A source told the Mirror Online, which first reported news of the mugging, that Styles “played it pretty cool, quickly giving the assailant cash, keeping himself and the guy calm and getting the situation over with.”
The Metropolitan Police confirmed to PEOPLE that “officers were contacted on Saturday, 15 February regarding the incident which happened at 23.50hrs on Friday, 14 February” in the reported area.
They added that “the victim was not injured however, cash was taken from him,” and said that no arrests have been made, though the investigation is ongoing.
Despite the incident, Styles appeared to be in good spirits as he graced the red carpet at the 2020 BRIT Awards.
Styles will be performing at the event and is also up for British male solo artist and British album of the year at the ceremony, which is being held at The O2 Arena in London.
