Miley Cyrus, the acclaimed pop star known for her controversial artistic endeavors, is suddenly recovering from extreme health scares. This was occurring concurrently with her creation of her new positive, visual album, Something Beautiful. The album officially releases on May 30. Join us for this rare one-night-only opportunity to see the film in theaters on June 12! Though she’s realized some creative ambitions during this slower time, Cyrus has recently struggled, including being hospitalized due to a “brutal infection” on her kneecap.
Cyrus was understandably ambitious in her vision for her project. To do so, she as a producer ended up spending most of her financial resources on clothing rather than production costs. To illustrate the spirit of what she has planned for the future, she and her team hit the streets to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They picked the dead of Thanksgiving night as the setting for their creative odyssey. This surprising decision makes sense in light of her attempt to produce album cover art worth saving.
During her performance, Cyrus got real about her recent health scares. In 2020, she shared with the world that she has Reinke’s edema, a condition caused by the overuse of her vocal cords. “I have the Reinke’s edema, which is something that is called, it’s abuse of the vocal cords,” she stated during promotional appearances for her new album. This condition has made it “extremely difficult to perform,” as she likened it to “running a marathon with ankle weights on.”
In candid recent interviews, Cyrus discussed her health issues. She began to examine how she used to treat her body and what habits led her to this place. She admitted that burning the candle at both ends, drinking lots of liquor, lots of cigarettes, and late night partying after concerts were not helping her health.
What a coincidence that you should ask that so specifically! I shot this video in October and literally by Thanksgiving, in November, I was in the ICU for a few days. Cyrus continued, emphasizing the jarring shift from a life of creative expression to an unexpected battle with severe illness. Doctors were concerned about the nature of the infection, making what was already an incredibly difficult situation even more so.
Cyrus has gone through a number of serious health issues in recent years, leading to widespread worry over how they might weigh on her future performances. Even with that fight, she had made the choice to step away. Just last week she helped NBC welcome in 2023 with a performance on their annual New Year’s Eve special.
Through all of these trials, Cyrus has not wavered in her pursuit of her artistic vision. Although she has battled her health issues publicly, she tirelessly continues to support the message of Something Beautiful and its related film.
