Miley Cyrus won't tour new album because of her mental health and sobreity
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Miley Cyrus has revealed why she won't be touring her latest album, Something Beautiful. The singer, 32, released her latest album on May 30, including the single End of the World, which has already earned 80million streams on Spotify. Despite the fantastic reception the new album received, the star has revealed that she has no intention to perform it on tour. Speaking with Good Morning America, Miley said that she doesn't feel that artists are supported while they are on tour. 'I do have the physical ability, and I have the opportunity to tour – I wish I had the desire, but I don't. I also don't think that there is actually an infrastructure that supports artists. She added that staying sober was another issue for her on tour: 'It's really hard to maintain sobriety when you're on the road, which is a really important, kind of pillar of stability in my life.' She added that on top of all of this, she also has to consider her mental health, as tour can come with crushing lows. 'None of this that I create would ever be possible without the way that I think about things. 'And I do think it's really hard to keep mental wellness [while touring]. You have so many thousands of people screaming at you, so [there's] dopamine, you're feeling a lot of love and then you totally crash at the end of the show. 'You start thinking that one person loving you is not enough; it needs to be 10,000, it needs to be 80,000.' In the interview, Miley mentioned Prince and added that she isn't the only artist to struggle with the intensity of touring. Famously, Michael Jackson hated touring, and stars like Shawn Mendes, Adele, and Zayn Malik have all been open about how their mental health has struggled with touring. The singer first went on tour in 2007 for the Best of Both Worlds Hannah Montana tour. She toured again in 2009 for the Wonder World Tour, and in 2011 in the Gypsy Heart Tour. She has also taken on two promotional tours, the 2015 Milky Milky Milk Tour in 2015, which consisted of just eight tour dates to support the album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz (2015). In 2022, she also took on a mini 11-show tour, the Attention Tour to support of her seventh studio album, Plastic Hearts (2020). More Trending This isn't the first time that Miley has spoken honestly about how touring has affected her. Speaking to British Vogue in 2023, the star once again emphasised that she had 'no desire' to return to the stage, having last toured an album in 2014 with Bangerz. 'It's been a minute,' she said of her years-long break. 'After the last [headline arena] show I did [in 2014], I kind of looked at it as more of a question. And I can't. Not only 'can't', because can't is your capability, but my desire. 'Do I want to live my life for anyone else's pleasure or fulfilment other than my own?' she said. Got a story?

Miley Cyrus Reveals Why She Isn't Going on Tour Anytime Soon
Originally appeared on E! Online Miley Cyrus may have dropped another album, but she's still on an endless summer vacation. The Hannah Montana alum, who hasn't paired an album with live shows since her 2014 Bangerz Tour, recently detailed why she no longer considers globetrotting a necessary part of her career—and it has nothing to do with Reinke's edema, the vocal condition she lives with. 'I do have the physical ability,' she clarified during a July 15 Good Morning America segment. '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, 32, went on to cite Prince—who was constantly on the road—as a reason for why she doesn't think touring is in the cards for her. 'It's really hard to maintain sobriety when you're on the road,' she explained, '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.' More from E!

Of course, this isn't the first time The Last Song star has given insight to why she doesn't perform live as much as she used to, saying her old habits exacerbated her Reinke's edema, which she described as 'abuse of the vocal cords.' 'Being 21,' she told Apple Music's Zane Lowe in May, 'and staying up and drinking and smoking and partying after every show does not help.' But considering Miley's past as one of the faces of Disney, none of her fans will be surprised that she prefers to take it easy these days. 'I worked really hard as a child,' Miley recalled to W magazine last year. "I didn't go to prom. I didn't go to dances. I didn't have so much of that social experience or time for friends. Disney, they were doing very well off of the amount of work that I was putting in as a child. I don't have any bad feelings about that. It's just the truth.' And for the 'End of the World' singer, touring is not an essential way to keep the connection with her fans alive. 'For clarity I feel connected to my fans NOW more than ever,' Miley wrote in a 2023 tweet in response to backlash about her not touring. 'When I win we win. Even if I don't see them face to face every night at a concert, my fans are felt deeply in my heart." As she put it, 'I'm constantly creating and innovating new ways that I can stay connected to the audience I love—without sacrificing my own essentials."

Back to unconventional
FOR most pop artistes, exploration is a scary word. Following one's musical muse does not always pan out according to plan, especially when it differs from current music trends. Miley Cyrus's artistry, therefore, has been a breath of fresh air. Since her Disney days, Cyrus has constantly made it a point to evolve. From embracing her pop sensibilities to trying out du jour hip-hop, the 32-year-old has enticed fans with unpredictability throughout her career. Her ninth album Something Beautiful is reflective of that tradition. Centring on her recovery from trauma, Cyrus returns to her desire to push beyond the norms of popular music. Breaking free from expectations Although the songs contain pop elements, the album's offerings are not reflective of today's musical preferences. Whether by their hooks or choruses, the songs are not obvious candidates for hits on radio or TikTok. Even the catchiest offerings such as End of the World, Easy Lover, Walk of Fame and Reborn defy the expectations of a pop star such as Cyrus. Instead, the album is curated for listeners who long for something more. With heavy influences from the 70s and 80s, Something Beautiful may find fans among those who are appreciative of those musical periods. Advocate of Cyrus's vocals Since the release of her previous album Endless Summer Vacation, fans have seen less of Cyrus. This is due to her recent diagnosis of Reinke's edema. This medical condition, according to her, makes it difficult to perform live. Though it shapes her unique sound, Cyrus has compared the condition to 'running a marathon with ankle weights on'. The struggle, however, has not prevented Cyrus's vocal growth as evident in Something Beautiful. Listeners will be quick to detect Cyrus's vocal improvement and prowess throughout the album. The noteworthy performances include More to Lose, Easy Lover and Walk of Fame. Premature evolution Cyrus's desire to further her musical sound is certainly to be applauded. But the move feels a bit premature. Though ambitious, many of the songs could have used additional time in the oven. They do not feel fully realised in the current state. Similar to her efforts on Younger Now and Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, the songs do not have a strong and impactful identity. They do not push the genre's boundaries as they do not have much to offer. Additionally, certain songs could have been removed from the album. Its prelude and interludes, for one, were unnecessary additions. They provide no artistic value to the album as a whole. Only appetiser When compared with her previous works, Something Beautiful certainly falls short. It is not representative of Cyrus's artistry and calibre as an artiste. But like Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets Department, Something Beautiful may just be a cathartic purging of emotions for Cyrus. After all, the Malibu hitmaker did describe the album as 'just an appetiser' during her performance at the Chateau, hinting at the possibility that Something Beautiful might just be a stepping stone to something else. Until then, we will wait patiently.

Last stop, end of the world: Take a train to the tip of Tierra del Fuego
This story is part of the June 28 edition of Good Weekend. See all 21 stories. Standing at the end of the world felt a lot like home to me. At the train depot, overlooking evergreen forests and a bay of mountains, I stopped to grasp the scene. The piercing morning sun stalked low, out of sight behind the summits of Tierra del Fuego National Park. But for the signposts in Spanish and unfamiliar trees – Magellan's beech, not Atlantic oak – I could have been on Scotland's rugged west coast. I'd come south – all the way south – to the Argentine city of Ushuaia, at the southernmost tip of South America, in search of epic landscapes, adventure and a historic frontier in train travel. Tierra del Fuego National Park, the shoreline trails of which I was exploring, is home to the 'End of the World' train (El Tren del Fin del Mundo), and it is a fragile leftover from one of the world's most remote penal colonies, of which more later. It also represents a profitable money-spinner for the blossoming tourist industry in this complex region of wild sea channels, twisting fjords and ferocious winds on the borderlands between Argentina and Chile. For my part, I've had similarly thrilling train experiences across the continent. A journey on the Machu Picchu train 25 years ago in Peru; a rooftop ride on Ecuador's zig-zagging Devil's Nose railway; a sunset visit to Bolivia's 'Great Train Graveyard', near the pearly salt pans of the Salar de Uyuni. But this one on Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego is by far the toughest to get to and so has a particular air of abandon – and freedom. The irony is that this is the railway line first built in 1909 by convicts as a 24-kilometre freight line to transport materials by steam locomotive between sawmills and Ushuaia prison. As local guide Grisel Guerrero tells it, no one wanted to live in this far-flung region with little or no opportunities in the 1890s. But the overflowing jails in Buenos Aires, nearly 3200 kilometres away, presented the unlikely solution. 'It was our Siberia,' Guerrero told me, while we strolled Ushuaia's waterfront that morning. 'Like the history of the British in Australia, our government formed a penal colony, sending many of the worst offenders here. It would take up to six months to arrive by ship, so before then it was almost impossible for the Argentinian government to populate this land.' Surrounded by the Beagle Channel and hemmed in by the Fuegian Andes, the landscape is far more dramatic than Russia's vast and unwelcoming North Asian province. As improbable, hard-to-believe-in places go, it's also worth the expense and time to get to. Lining this largely unpeopled coast are empty beaches and river estuaries teeming with brown trout. There are silvery sawtooth peaks and abrupt glaciers. In such beautiful surroundings, it's small wonder that many prisoners decided to stay after earning their right to freedom. By 1952, following an earthquake and landslide, the train had closed. These days, the UK-built convict train – revived in the mid-1990s as a heritage railway – wouldn't rival many for glamour. Nor would it match any Tube line in London for efficiency. The distance you travel is only eight kilometres, with one intermediary stop at gently gushing Macarena Waterfall. Besides that, the toy-town-like train takes one hour to reach the end of the line. In Ushuaia itself, the former prison complex, Museo Marítimo y del Presidio de Ushuaia, now charts the intriguing time line of the country's early penal colony. But the rewards of riding the slowest train in South America are profound. After the clanking of gears, there is the screech of wheels on the 500mm gauge track and the shrill blow of a whistle carried on the wind. The ride from platform to national reserve is admittedly the stuff of a theme park, with staff garbed in cosplay inmate uniforms, but you realise, excitedly, that this is also an invitation into one of the wildest corners of the Americas. Loading For me, the highlight was the intricacy of land and sea that surrounded us at journey's end within Tierra del Fuego National Park. On board, you only have to look out of the window to feel awe. 'This is the end of the world for us,' Guerrero told me, upon the train reaching its last stop. 'Some say that's a negative way of describing Ushuaia, so now we also say it's the beginning of everything. South America, the Pan-American Highway, the start of our lives here. There is no shortage of opportunity and adventure.'
