Miley Cyrus Opens Up About Vocal Condition and Health Struggles
Pop star Miley Cyrus recently revealed the reason behind her trademark raspy voice and the health issues that have impacted her ability to tour. In a candid interview on Apple Music’s The Zane Lowe Show, Cyrus shared that her unique voice is a result of a medical condition known as Reinke’s edema, which has caused a large polyp growth on her vocal cords. Despite the challenges it presents, Cyrus sees her condition as a blessing that has shaped her identity as an artist.
Years of excessive drinking, smoking, and partying in her youth may have contributed to Cyrus’ vocal issues, but she emphasized that these habits did not cause her condition. The singer admitted that while surgery to remove the polyp is an option, she is hesitant to alter her voice and risk losing her distinct sound.
Unfortunately, Cyrus’ vocal condition has also impacted her ability to tour. The taxing nature of live performances has made it difficult for her to embark on a global tour. However, she is actively working to find a sustainable solution that benefits both her and her tour crew.
In addition to her vocal struggles, Cyrus recently faced a health scare while filming a music video on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She was hospitalized due to a severe infection in her knee, which required medical attention. Despite this setback, Cyrus remains resilient and determined to overcome these challenges.
During a New Year’s Eve special, Cyrus experienced another health emergency when she suffered from a ruptured ovarian cyst. Despite the excruciating pain, she bravely continued with the show, showcasing her dedication to her craft.
Through these trials and tribulations, Miley Cyrus continues to inspire fans with her resilience and determination to overcome adversity. Her unique voice and unwavering passion for music serve as a testament to her strength as an artist.
