Miley Cyrus says she has 'no desire' to tour
"I do have the physical ability, and I have the opportunities to tour," she told the US show on Tuesday. "I wish I had the desire, but I don't."She also said it was "really hard to maintain sobriety when you're out on the road" which is "a really important pillar of stability in my life". Miley released her latest album, Something Beautiful, at the end of May and although she hasn't toured, she has appeared on stage including alongside Beyoncé as part of her Cowboy Carter show in Paris last month. Her comments about touring come after she revealed in an Apple Music podcast that she has a rare condition affecting her vocal chords.She said the condition, called Reinke's edema, makes touring challenging because it causes the "ultimate vocal fry".
'My dream'
For up and coming artists like Romz, a 25-year-old rapper and singer from London, it's hard to imagine not wanting to go on tour. "Performing in front of thousands of people every night, personally that's my dream," she tells BBC Newsbeat, adding that touring is important for having a connection with your fans.
"But, I get it for artists that have done it for so long that it can take a toll on their mental health," Romz adds. "Every artist has a different mindset, and maybe Miley, she's like it's just not for me and that's completely OK."Romz agrees with Miley that there should be "as more caring system" for artists on tour, saying artists' wellbeing can be overlooked. "I wish to do shows like [Miley] in the future but I've only done gigs at the moment around London," she says."So I don't actually know how it feels to do a show in front of 20-30,000 fans every single night."

Chris Hemsworth's sweet message to his wife Elsa Pataky on her birthday as the couple reunite after weeks apart
Chris Hemsworth has shared a sweet post dedicated to his wife Elsa Pataky on her 49th birthday. The Aussie star, 41, took to Instagram on Saturday to wish the Spanish actress a happy birthday as they celebrated her special day together. 'Happy birthday @elsapataky! Thank you for being an incredible human and each year continuing to allow me to eat the vast majority of the cake,' he captioned the post, which has received over one million likes. One snap showed the actress wearing a giant smile on her face as she sat alongside her husband with a giant chocolate cake in front of them. Another featured Chris leaning in as Elsa excitedly blew out her candles, surrounded by pastries, cakes and her loved ones. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Rumours have recently circulated about the couple after they spent several weeks apart due to work commitments. Elsa had been in her native Spain, filming her new TV series Matices, while Chris had been travelling, even attending the final day of Wimbledon without his wife. However, on Thursday, they reunited in London at the premiere of Chris' new National Geographic series, Limitless: Live Better Now, with their twin sons, Tristan and Sasha, 11. Sporting summer tans, the genetically-blessed duo glowed as they cuddled up, clearly happy to be back in each other's arms. The event was a family affair, with all of Chris' family in attendance. His father Craig and mother Leonie were present, as well as his brother Liam and his girlfriend Gabriella Brooks. For the glitzy evening, Chris, who stars in the show exploring how humans 'can live better for longer', looked handsome in a navy two-piece suit. He layered his tailored two-piece over a crisp white T-shirt and an unbuttoned dark blue shirt. Meanwhile, Elsa put on a leggy display as she slipped into a sparkly sheer dress which was layered over a strappy white dress. She added inches to her toned physique as she wore a pair of strappy silver heels and slicked her blonde tresses back into an up-do. Chris and Elsa tied the knot during the Christmas holidays in 2010. The Hemsworths have made Byron Bay their home in recent years, after relocating from Los Angeles to Australia nine years ago.

Roger Norrington: a maverick, an irresistible firebrand and a musical visionary
The conductor Sir Roger Norrington, whose death was announced yesterday at the age of 91, remains still the maverick presence that classical music needs. His mission wasn't only to make us hear the repertoire we thought it knew through the prism of the techniques and playing styles of its time, rather than the ossifications of later traditions. He was also an irresistible firebrand in performance, whose energy wasn't only about inspiring his performers to get closer to the music they were playing, it was also an invitation to his audiences that their listening should be involved too. Norrington wanted everyone to feel the urgency of Beethoven's rhetorical power and rudeness, from the radiance of one of his favourite pieces, the Missa Solemnis, to the emetic contrabassoon in the finale of the Ninth Symphony, which was always the richest of raspberries in his performances and recordings. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. Haydn's symphonies, particularly, were pieces of participative performance art in Norrington's hands, in which his delight in sharing the radical humour and jaw-dropping discontinuities of the music was so evident. The conductor would turn round to his listeners - especially in the Prommers in the arena of the Royal Albert Hall in one of his 42 appearances at the Proms - to make sure we all realised just how weird and wonderful this music really was. The revelations of hearing Norrington's historically informed musical mission in action defined an era, along with his fellow iconoclasts, such as Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Christopher Hogwood and John Eliot Gardiner, all of whom founded ensembles of period instruments, like Norrington's London Classical Players, and took the lessons they had learnt therein to transform the sound world of modern instrument orchestras. Norrington's work with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra is the sound of his later legacy in action, in Brahms, Berlioz, Tchaikovsky, and Elgar, as well as Beethoven and Mozart. But Norrington's distinctiveness was his unshakeable belief that there was a right way to play Beethoven – and a wrong one. He was also completely committed to his idea that the curse of vibrato was an aberration in performances of all music composed before the early 20th century, whether Bach to Mahler. While his vibrato-free performances brought astonishing moments – listen to the opening of the slow movement of Bruckner's sixth symphony, and connected music from across the centuries, it was an experiment that didn't catch on. Or at least it hasn't yet. Norrington's many crusades for the right tempo and textures in Beethoven's symphonies, for the clarity and directness of drama in Bach's Passions, for the transparency of sound world in Wagner and Debussy, have had repercussions across the whole of classical music, even with conductors and orchestras who might not think they're working under his influence. Norrington's decades-long mission to wean musical culture off the drug of vibrato may yet have its day. And his work remains fresh and thrilling. His Beethoven recordings with the London Classical Players - all the symphonies, and the piano concertos with Melvyn Tan, from the 1980s - are as impishly radical as ever. The paradox of Norrington's performances is that what seemed like austerity and ideology was in fact a generous invitation to re-hear the incendiary meanings and power of music that had been taken for granted for too long. Norrington was associated with what used to be called 'authenticity' in the performance of 17th, 18th, and 19th century repertoires. But he was too intelligent to believe that what he was doing was a mere restoration job or a return to a sound world of Mozart's or Beethoven's time - something that can never truly be recaptured. He wasn't a musician trying to return to the past. Instead he was going back to find a musical future. The sound of his recordings is the sound of the indelible imagination of all those composers he loved being released in all their rapier wit, sublimity and delirium into our time.
