Finneas surprised his fans by kissing his male guitarist Ricky Gourmet aka ‘Rat’ during his show at Warsaw Concerts in Brooklyn on Saturday night.
The 26-year-old was performing his 2021 song Till Forever Falls Apart (without collaborator Ashe) when he suddenly enjoyed a spontaneous lip lock with the man he previously described as his ‘beautiful neighbor.’
Finneas (last name O’Connell) then playfully pushed Rat’s face away as the audience went wild cheering.
The 10-time Grammy winner is known to be heterosexual despite clearly having an affectionate relationship with his bandmates.
In fact, during the same concert, Finneas brought his girlfriend Claudia Sulewski onstage and kissed her even longer.
The Kamala Harris supporter frequently features the 28-year-old YouTuber in his music videos, and she reportedly inspired his tracks Claudia and Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa.
Finneas originally met Claudia on the dating app Raya, and they celebrated their sixth anniversary of dating on September 22.
‘Six years with my North Star,’ the homeschooled vegan gushed. ‘I’d follow you anywhere.’
And just like his little sister Billie Eilish – who openly gushed about her strong attraction to women last November – Finneas was promptly accused by fans of ‘queer-baiting.’

The two-time Oscar winner and his 22-year-old famous sister publicly reunited on October 8 to support their mother Maggie Baird at Glamour Women of the Year in Manhattan.
‘My kids are obsessed with Halloween, honestly obsessed with Halloween,’ the 65-year-old Support + Feed founder told People at the event.
‘We used to do these great Halloween parties at our house. We always had donuts on a string from Donut Friend, which is a local donut shop that’s all plant-based. And we’d have the feely boxes [you’d stick your hand in].
‘We’d turn our little garage into a haunted house with all the gooey-feely boxes. Haunted houses and Halloween parties were a big part of their childhood.’
Finneas – who gets 10.8M monthly listeners on Spotify – dropped his second studio album For Cryin’ Out Loud! on October 4, but he doesn’t kick off his 35-date tour until January 7 in New Zealand.
The What Was I Made For musician served composer duties on Alfonso Cuarón’s seven-episode psychological thriller Disclaimer starring Cate Blanchett, which currently airs Fridays on Apple TV+.
Finneas also has a mystery acting role in Tony Kaye’s ensemble dark comedy The Trainer, which premieres next Sunday at the 19th Rome Film Festival.
Meanwhile, Billie is in the midst of her first tour without her big brother by her side and she’ll next bring her 83-date Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour to the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, PA on Sunday night.
