It's hard to maintain sobriety while touring, says Miley Cyrus
The 32-year-old pop star hasn't paired an album with live shows since her Bangerz Tour back in 2014, and Miley has now revealed that she has no intention of hitting the road anytime soon.
During an appearance on Good Morning America, Miley - who quit using marijuana in 2017 - explained: "It's really hard to maintain sobriety when you're on the road, which is kind of a pillar of stability in my life. None of this that I create would even be possible without the way I think about things."
Miley also thinks there's an insufficient "infrastructure" for touring artists.
The pop star said: "I do have the physical ability. I have the opportunities to tour, I wish I had the desire, but I don't. I also don't think that there's an infrastructure that supports artists.'
Miley acknowledged that touring has negatively impacted her mental health in the past.
The Wrecking Ball hitmaker said: "I do think it's really hard to keep mental wellness."
In 2023, Miley admitted that touring "isn't healthy" for her.
The singer has enjoyed huge success in her music career - but Miley believes that touring "erases [her] humanity" and stifles her ability to write new songs.
The Flowers hitmaker explained in a TikTok video: "Having every day the relationship between you and other humans being subject and observer isn't healthy for me because it erases my humanity and my connection. And without my humanity and my connection, I can't be a songwriter, which is my priority."
Miley also reflected on the differences between herself and her dad, music star Billy Ray Cyrus.
The chart-topping singer admitted that she had financial and emotional stability during her younger years, whereas her dad was forced to struggle through the early years of his life.
Miley explained: "My dad grew up the opposite of me.
"I grew up on a soundstage, like in a house with a family who was super close and all lived under the same roof, and I grew up financially stable and emotionally stable, I think, in my relationships also. That's something that my dad didn't have."

Charli XCX shares glimpse of wild wedding after-party
Charli XCX has shared a glimpse into her wild wedding after-party. The 32-year-old singer married the 1975's drummer George Daniel, 35, on Saturday (19.07.25) in east London, joined by close friends and family members, including his bandmates Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald. She haw now given fans a look at the bash that followed in a video she posted on TikTok, featuring her in a white dress and her new husband topless in one moment from the footage. In her caption alongside the footage, she joked: 'When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle', before adding: 'Luckily did'. Later in the night of her wedding, Charli changed into a second outfit — a £3,300 Nova Cora white dress — for a party with pals at Ellie's bar in Dalston. She and George exchanged vows in a low-key ceremony before making their way down Hackney High Street to Italian restaurant Dalla. According to The Sun, the venue was closed exclusively for the wedding party and there were only around 20 guests. Charli's party pals dined alfresco on pasta and champagne, and were seen smoking outside ahead of the meal. A source told The Sun: 'Charli and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla.' Charli's wedding band, which complements her classic solitaire engagement ring, also attracted attention. Jewellery expert Laura Taylor of Lorel Diamonds told MailOnline: 'Charli's wedding band is where she's really made it her own... it's chunky and very different to the delicate bands you usually see paired with solitaires.' She valued the piece between £8,000 and £10,000. Charli's parents, Jon and Shameera Aitchison, were photographed posing with the newlyweds during their nuptials, to which George wore a dark double-breasted suit with a pale open-collared shirt and a boutonnière matching Charli's bouquet. News of the pair's engagement first emerged in 2023, with The Sun reporting George had proposed. In February 2024, sources said the couple had travelled to Italy to scout locations for their main celebration. Earlier this month, it was reported Charli and George had chosen Sicily as the location for their second, larger wedding later this year. A source told The Sun: 'This was the formal wedding and the big event is happening in a few months. 'Charli and George had the most perfect day in London. It was everything they wanted it to be — relaxed, informal and fun.'

Colbert is latest casualty of late-night TV's fade-out
Late-night television had been fighting for its survival even before The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was cancelled last week. The announced end of one of the most popular broadcast late-night shows, days after host Stephen Colbert accused the network owner of bribing President Donald Trump to approve a merger, drew cries of political foul play from liberal politicians, artists and entertainers. "Stephen Colbert, an extraordinary talent and the most popular late-night host, slams the deal. Days later, he's fired. Do I think this is a coincidence? NO," Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent, wrote on X. CBS executives said dropping the show was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount". The late-night format has been struggling for years as viewers increasingly migrate to streaming. Younger viewers, in particular, are more apt to find amusement on YouTube or TikTok, leaving smaller, aging TV audiences and declining ad revenues. Americans used to religiously turn on Johnny Carson or Jay Leno before bed, but nowadays many fans prefer to watch quick clips on social media. Advertising revenue for Colbert's show has dropped 40 per cent since 2018 - the financial reality that CBS said prompted the decision to end The Late Show in May 2026. One former TV network executive said the program was a casualty of the fading economics of broadcast television. Colbert's late-night show rivals Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers both expressed shock over the cancellation. "I'm just as shocked as everyone," Fallon wrote on Instagram. "For as great a comedian and host he is, Stephen Colbert is an even better person," Meyers wrote on Instagram. Fifteen years ago, a popular late-night show like The Tonight Show could earn $US100 million ($A153 million) a year, the executive said. Recently, though, The Late Show has been losing $US40 million ($A61 million) a year, said a person briefed on the matter. The show's ad revenue plummeted to $US70 million ($A107 million) last year from $US121million ($A185 million) in 2018, according to ad tracking firm Guideline. Ratings for Colbert's show peaked at 3.1 million viewers on average during the 2017-18 season, according to Nielsen data. For the season that ended in May, the show's audience averaged 1.9 million. Comedians like Colbert followed their younger audiences online, with the network releasing clips to YouTube or TikTok. But digital advertising did not make up for the lost TV ad revenue, the source with knowledge of the matter said. But the end came at a politically sensitive time. Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS, is seeking approval from the Federal Communications Commission for an $US8.4 billion ($A12.8 billion) merger with Skydance Media. This month Paramount agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by Trump over a 60 Minutes interview with his 2024 Democratic challenger, Kamala Harris. Colbert called the payment "a big fat bribe" two days before he was told his show was cancelled.
