I had a medical emergency. I had an ovarian cyst rupture."During the incident, which occurs when a fluid-filled sac on or within an ovary breaks and releases contents into the abdominal cavity, the Grammy recipient continued with the live programme, performing alongside Dolly, Sia and Paris Hilton, despite not fully understanding her condition at the time."It was pretty traumatic because it was extremely excruciating and I did the show anyway," she revealed. "But it was really, really hard on me."The health incident led the "We Can't Stop" vocalist to consider abandoning her musical career. However, a subsequent significant discussion with Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels proved influential.She shared their conversation: "I had dinner with Lorne and he said something that now has stuck with me. He goes, 'Six months--everybody has six months to feel sorry for themselves and then we start to rebuild.'""He's like, 'You have no idea how many artists have sat in this chair and told me they were quitting music. Everyone does this.'"Miley noted that she had "expired on my amount of time that I was able to shut down" and resumed her musical journey, resulting in her upcoming album Something Beautiful, scheduled for release May 30. "What I've always realized is that it will quit me before I ever quit it. That's not in the cards for me."
