Miley Cyrus recently opened up about why she is stepping away from touring. The singer recently released her latest visual album, Something Beautiful. While fans anticipated a Miley Cyrus tour to follow the album’s debut, the singer revealed that she has no plans to return to the stage for a global trek. And her reason might surprise you.
So, here’s what Cyrus said about not going on the tour.
Miley Cyrus shares reason behind not going on tour
In a candid interview on Good Morning America, Cyrus explained that her decision to avoid touring isn’t due to physical limitations or her vocal condition, Reinke’s edema. But it is rather a conscious choice for her emotional and mental well-being.
“I do have the physical ability, and I have the opportunities to tour. I wish I had the desire, but I don’t,” she shared. Cyrus stressed that touring doesn’t align with her current values and lifestyle, especially her commitment to sobriety. She added that being on the road can be emotionally destabilizing and isolating for artists.
“You’re out on the road, and it’s hard to maintain sobriety when you’re on the road, which is a really important pillar of stability in my life,” she said, referencing how some iconic artists suffered due to the pressures of constant touring. Cyrus also admitted to the emotional crash after performing for massive crowds. “You feel a lot of love, then you totally crash at the end of the show. You start thinking one person loving you is not enough,” Cyrus stated.
The Wrecking Ball singer first shared her disinterest in large-scale touring during her June 2023 British Vogue interview, reflecting on how disconnected she felt during her 2014 Bangerz Tour. “There’s no connection. There’s no safety. It’s so isolating because if you’re in front of 100,000 people, then you are alone,” she said.
Despite stepping away from tours, Cyrus isn’t turning her back on performing entirely. She made a surprise appearance during Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour in Paris, performing “II Most Wanted” alongside the pop icon.
