[Asia News = Reporter Reakkana] Billie Eilish has used her Glastonbury headline set to protest the US Supreme Court's decision to end the constitutional right to abortion. "Today is a really, really dark day for women in the US," the 20-year-old said from the Pyramid Stage, BBC reported.
 
"I'm just going to say that because I can't bear to think about it any longer." She went on to dedicate Your Power, a song about older men who abuse their position, to everyone affected. On Friday, the US Supreme Court overturned a 50-year-old ruling known as Roe v Wade that guaranteed nationwide abortion rights for women. The decision means millions of women across the US will lose their legal right to abortion as individual states will be able to make their own laws on it.
 
Eilish was not the only performer at Glastonbury to protest the decision. Earlier in the night, indie-folk star Phoebe Bridgers made a similar statement during her festival debut on the John Peel stage. "This is my first time here. It's surreal and amazing but I'm having a real [expletive] day," she said. Eilish's performance made her Glastonbury's youngest-ever solo headliner, at the age of 20. The star's set was heavily rumored to feature a surprise appearance from Harry Styles - but, like so many Glastonbury rumors, the gossip was one step removed from reality.
