An average of six people die every hour from COVID-19 in Los Angeles County, which has a quarter of the state’s 40 million residents.

“We said to our team, ‘If anyone has anyone who knows anyone, just convey that we would love to do this,'" Finneas explained.

Finneas and Eilish also picked up Grammy nominations for song and record of the year for “Everything I Wanted,” a song about their relationship as siblings and being there for one another. “So gratifying and wonderful and hard to articulate how meaningful it is to me,” Finneas said of their nominations.
