Billie Eilish criticises German magazine for using digitally altered image of her as cover art

Singer Billie Eilish has blasted a German magazine over its cover art that featured a bald and shirtless photo of the singer.

The 17-year-old singer posted a lengthy comment on Nylon Germany's official Instagram page after the magazine shared the cover art, designed by Marcel C Wilkens, which depicted her as a "supernatural fembot of the future".

After the uproar from the singer and her fans, the magazine removed the cover art and clarified that their intention was not to hurt anyone.

Meanwhile, Nylon's America edition waded into the controversy and offered support to the singer.

Nylon America is a different company than Nylon Germany and we strongly disagree with their decision to appropriate Billie Eilish's image without her consent. Nylon America is very sorry to Billie and her fans.
