Why is Free Billie Eilish trending?
An unnamed man was spotted climbing the KTLA tower in Los Angeles, with a sign that read "Free Billie Eilish" on Tuesday, April 25, 2023.

The man was spotted at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Bronson Avenue near Van Ness Avenue as an electric guitar dangles over his chest.

There has been no clarity on what the message means or what it attempts to convey. But the tag has been trending on Twitter ever since.
