The Happier Than Ever singer revealed she suffered from COVID back in August and she still has side effects from the battle today.

Billie Eilish thinks she "would have died" from COVID-19 if she wasn't vaccinated.

The 19-year-old singer has opened up on her battle with the illness and revealed she's still experiencing side effects months after her health battle.

Appearing on The Howard Stern Show on Monday (13th December), she said: "I didn't die, and I wasn't gonna die, but that does not take away from how miserable it was.

"It was terrible. I still have side effects. I was sick for, like, two months almost."

However, the Bad Guy singer credited the vaccine with her being "fine" now, and admitted she felt "f****** horrible" when she was battling the virus at the time.

"I want it to be clear that it is because of the vaccine I’m fine," she added. "I think if I weren't vaccinated, I would have, like, died, because it was bad…

"When I say it was bad, I more just mean that it felt horrible. But really, in the scheme of COVID, it was not bad. You know what I mean? When you're sick, you feel f****** horrible."
