Miley Cyrus Says Filming a Scene for ‘Something Beautiful' Gave Her a ‘Disgusting' Infection
Miley Cyrus isn't above making sacrifices for her art. While guesting on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Friday (May 23), the pop star revealed that she caught a 'brutal' infection in her leg after filming a not-so-hygienic scene for her upcoming Something Beautiful film — resulting in a condition that was so nasty, even her doctors were grossed out. As seen in some of the previews for Something Beautiful — the accompanying visual to Cyrus' fast-approaching album of the same name — the musician at one point rolls around on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the film. But while breaking down the scene for Kimmel, Cyrus revealed that she didn't have the budget to rent out the iconic strip, so she simply went and filmed there in the middle of the night — meaning there was no time or opportunity for her team to clean the ground on which countless people tread day in and day out, before she fully subjected herself to any germs and bacteria on the premises while shooting. More from Billboard Miley Cyrus Is 'Fueled by Fantasy' in 'Something Beautiful' Film Trailer Featuring an Unreleased Song U2's Bono Calls for Hamas to 'Release the Hostages, Stop the War' During Ivor Novello Awards Speech Rob49 on Viral Stardom, 'Let Me Fly,' Collab Album With G Herbo & Making Music With Justin Bieber About a month later, the Grammy winner says she had to go to the ICU because her 'leg began to disintegrate' around her knee. 'The doctor goes, 'Do you have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap?'' she said, noting that her mind immediately flashed back to writhing around on the unspeakably dirty Walk of Fame. 'To have a surgeon look at you and say, 'Yuck,'' Cyrus continued as audience members laughed. 'Like, they open up cadavers, they see inside the guts of humans, and they're looking at me telling me I'm disgusting.' Fans can check out a snippet of the scene in question in trailers for Something Beautiful, but they won't get to see the full thing until the film premieres in theaters for one night only on June 12 in the United States and Canada, and June 27 worldwide. The album itself drops May 30, with Cyrus unveiling the tracklist — featuring collaborations with Brittany Howard and Naomi Campbell — earlier in May. Cyrus' conversation with Kimmel comes just one day after her sit-down with Apple Music 1's Zane Lowe went live, featuring the Hannah Montana alum getting candid about her sobriety. 'I've learned this about myself over the years,' she said in the interview. 'The sobriety is like, that's like my God. I need it, I live for it. I mean that it's changed my entire life.' She also opened up about why winning her first-ever Grammys — best pop solo performance and record of the year for Billboard Hot 100-topping hit 'Flowers' — in 2024 was a 'healing' experience for her. 'I think somewhere inside of me, I needed maybe to hold a trophy and just feel for a moment that I have something that I can hold in my hands that feels like a true achievement,' she told Lowe. Also on Kimmel, Cyrus performed 'More to Lose,' one of the singles off Something Beautiful. The album has also been led by 'Prelude,' 'End of the World' and its title track.

Jesse & Joy's ‘Lo Que Nos Faltó Decir' Album & More Best New Music Latin
New Music Latin is a compilation of the best new Latin songs and albums recommended by Billboard Latin and Billboard Español editors. Check out this week's picks below. Jesse & Joy, (Warner Music Latina) More from Billboard U2's Bono Calls for Hamas to 'Release the Hostages, Stop the War' During Ivor Novello Awards Speech Rob49 on Viral Stardom, 'Let Me Fly,' Collab Album With G Herbo & Making Music With Justin Bieber Preston Cooper on Offering Genuine Strength in 'Weak,' His First Radio Release With a range of sounds representative of their bicultural upbringing (Mexico-U.S.), Jesse & Joy present an eclectic 13-track album that spans pop, regional music, singer-songwriter styles, and soul. 'A sonic journey between two worlds, five cities, and all the words yet to be said,' as described in the press release, the Huerta siblings' seventh album was produced by Martin Terefe along with Jesse, and recorded across London, New York, Los Angeles, Bogotá, and Mexico City. Collaborators include Carlos Vives, Banda MS, Elsa y Elmar, Eden Muñoz and Poo Bear, on songs as varied as the focus track 'Empinar el Codo' with Vives — a heartbreak-themed pop song with a festive vibe — or the bilingual reggae track 'Nube' with Poo Bear, about feeling on cloud nine when experiencing the excitement of new love. The album opens with the sweet instrumental 'Canción de Mylo' and follows with the uptempo 'Digas Lo Que Digas,' one of the previously released singles, which also include 'Cuando Estamos a Solas' in support of Coming Out Day. Especially moving is the title track, a heart-wrenching ballad in Jesse & Joy's signature style. Lo Que Nos Faltó Decir coincides with the launch of the duo's El Despecho Tour 2025. It also comes at a special moment for Joy, who was recently nominated for a Tony Award as a composer for the Broadway musical Real Women Have Curves. — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS Morat, (Universal Music Spain) Morat's fifth studio album Ya Es Mañana showcases a loyal band that skillfully navigates its evolution without sacrificing its true essence. Inspired by the powerful electric guitar riffs of the '90s, this emotional set travels from the engaging 'Faltas Tú' to the captivating 'Me Toca A Mí,' a collaboration with Camilo that thunders with potent drum beats and echoes Def Leppard's classic sound. Among the 14 gems are 'Antes De Cumplir Los 30,' which tells a story of youthful reflection; 'Por Si No Te Vuelvo A Ver,' filled with poignant longing; 'La Policía,' which carries an undercurrent of social commentary; and 'Cuarto De Hotel' with its rich, atmospheric emotion. The standout 'Vuelvo A Ti' captures the spirit of a new awakening with its refreshing and heartfelt approach. 'This is the moment to make the most of life, to be aware of what we must do now to create an incredible future. For us, this album embodies the idea of the band we have always wanted to be, and we hope you enjoy it,' said Juan Pablo Villamil during the band's album release party in Miami on Thursday (May 22). — INGRID FAJARDO Carín León & Maluma, 'Si Tú Me Vieras' (Socios Music) After teaming up for the runway hit 'Según Quién' two years ago, which peaked at No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay, Carín León and Maluma join forces once again for 'Si Tu Me Vieras,' one of the new tracks from León's Palabra de To's (Seca) deluxe album. The two songs couldn't be more different from each other: Unlike 'Según,' which leans more pop with horn instruments giving it that regional touch, 'Si Tu Me Vieras' is more acoustic, with prickly guitars and a slapping tololoche leading the way for a more stripped-down approache. Lyrically, both are ultra vulnerable singing about not being able to overcome a heartbreak. 'If you could see how I suffer realizing you're no longer with me,' they sing, almost wailing. León's deluxe release includes three other new songs, including 'Me Está Doliendo' with Alejandro Fernández, 'Tres Pesos' and 'Por La Suave.' — GRISELDA FLORES Sergio George, (Sony Music Latin) In early 2024, Latin producer Sergio George gave the first taste of his ambitious project 'Urban Salsa Sessions' with the release of 'La Puerta' in collaboration with Jay Wheeler. The heartfelt tropical tune set the tone for what would become the hitmaker's new studio album — where he reunited some of the biggest names in urban & pop to create brand new salsa songs. The focus track, 'La Gata y el Ratón,' features Fariana's sensual vocals, Juanes' electric guitar riffs and a sample of Cheo Feliciano's original voice for a bold interpolation of Cheo's 1974 classic 'El Ratón.' Moreover, George reeled in Ryan Castro on 'Amor Material,' Anthony Ramons singing salsa in English on 'I Was the One,' Elena Rose and Oscar D' Leon on 'Me Das Fever' and Cuban newcomer Bebeshito on 'Lo Sabe,' where he cleverly blends salsa music with Cuba's booming urban genre, reparto. Beyond its colorful and flavorful rhythms, Ataca Sergio! Presents: Urban Salsa Sessions, is also home to uplifting and motivational tunes such as the Mike Bahía and Annasofia-assisted 'Gracias,' a modern-day salsa with gospel undertones about gratitude, and closing track 'La Vida es Una FIesta' with Wisin. — JESSICA ROIZ Mau y Ricky, Danny Ocean & Yorghaki, 'Samaná' (Why Club Records) After collaborating in 2024 on 'La Penúltima,' Venezuelan stars Mau y Ricky and Danny Ocean join forces again —this time also with their compatriot Yorghaki— on 'Samaná,' a summer love song whose title is the name of a Dominican coastal city. In this fusion of bachata with Latin and Caribbean sounds, the artists sing about their desire to rekindle a fleeting romance with the woman of their dreams amidst sandy, sun-drenched parties: 'I ask God to take care of you/ And if you're with someone, to be careless/ I don't know if it took me too long to tell you/ But I want to finish what started in Samaná.' ''Samaná' is the result of several friends coming together to do what they love,' Mau y Ricky says in a press release — a camaraderie that's also evident in the music video and the artists' social media posts. — S.R.A. Alex Ponce, 'Como Ella Ya No Hay' (Neon16/Sony Music Latin) Ecuadorian singer-songwriter Alex Ponce addresses his ex's new love in his new single 'Como Ella Ya No Hay.' The lyrics are a manual for loving a lost love well. With an electropop base, an irresistible electric bass groove and enveloping harmonies, the song vibrates between what was and what will no longer be. For those who have loved badly and understood it too late, this song hits straight to the soul. — LUISA CALLE Myke Towers, 'Baja California' (From ) (Atlantic Records/Apple Video Programming) Set against the rugged terrain of the Northern Mexican state it's named after, Myke Towers' 'Baja California' captures the thrill of adrenaline-fueled velocity with unapologetic swagger. Interpolating Black Sheep's early-'90s hip-hop classic 'The Choice Is Yours,' the Puerto Rican rapper turbocharges the track with the chaos and control of dirt bike trails, daunting mountains and the tempestuous coastline. Produced by El Guincho and Oscar, the single also mirrors the tension and raw energy of the Formula 1 universe. Towers weaves sharp bars about risk, mastery, and chasing victory, embodying a speed demon fearlessly living on instinct ('a la adrenalina nunca le he tenido fobia,' he raps). 'Baja California' is part of F1: The Album (out June 27), the official soundtrack for the Apple Original Film, starring Brad Pitt. As the only Latin artist featured on the soundtrack album, Towers holds his own on a star-studded roster that includes Ed Sheeran, Sexyy Red, Burna Boy, and Tiësto. — ISABELA RAYGOZA Bronco, (REC PRIME INC) The iconic regional Mexican group celebrates its four-and-a-half-decade-long career with this compilation of 16 songs recorded live — 13 of which are duets with international acts from various music genres, such as Julieta Venegas, Matisse, Aleks Syntek, Vagón Chicano, Guaynaa, and Los Auténticos Decadentes. The album was recorded throughout 2024, during the group's Tour 45 performances in the U.S., Central and South America, in iconic venues including Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Arena Ciudad de México in Mexico City, and the Jockey Club in Asuncion, Paraguay. Among the songs included in this collectors piece are 'Pastillas de Amnesia,' 'Libros Tontos,' 'Oro,' 'Nunca Voy a Olvidarte' and 'Con Zapatos de Tacón.' Definitely a great gift for true fans of Bronco, a legend of Spanish-language music. — TERE AGUILERA Check out more Latin recommendations this week below:Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart

Sheryl Crow Shares Empathetic New Single ‘I Know' for Mental Health Awareness Month
Sheryl Crow unfurled her new single 'I Know' on Friday (May 23) in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. On the tender ballad, the nine-time Grammy winner lays out the importance of empathy and connection as she sings, 'But maybe I could hold your hand/ And count the teardrops as they flow/ And promise never to let go/ I see the struggle in your face/ The only thing that I can say/ Is I know/ I know/ I know how it feels,' over restrained guitars. More from Billboard Musicians Who Have Opened Up About Their Mental Health Struggles U2's Bono Calls for Hamas to 'Release the Hostages, Stop the War' During Ivor Novello Awards Speech Rob49 on Viral Stardom, 'Let Me Fly,' Collab Album With G Herbo & Making Music With Justin Bieber The singer-songwriter, who recently served as a Mega Mentor on the just-concluded season 27 of The Voice, also opened up about the inspiration behind the song in a social media post on Wednesday (May 23). 'In a recent moment when I was really struggling, I picked up my guitar and wrote a song… Sometimes when we're struggling, just knowing that another soul can relate to what we're feeling makes things a little bit better. That's what this song is about,' she wrote. Elsewhere in the caption, she championed the mission of mental health nonprofit organization To Write Love on Her Arms, which provides resources in order for people struggling with their mental health to find affordable resources such as therapy. 'And this I REALLY love: they have a 'Disconnect to Reconnect' challenge which encourages people to get off social media for two weeks and reconnect to what matters most,' Crow continued. 'Social media isn't really great for anyone's emotional well-being, so encouraging folks to [put] the phone down and enjoy nature, family and friends, music….I do that all the time, and I know how beneficial it is to take a break.'

Billy Joel Cancels All Upcoming Performances Due to Medical Condition
Billy Joel is canceling all of his upcoming shows due to a health issue affecting his ability to perform, the musician announced Friday (May 23). In a statement shared to his social media accounts, he shared that the decision comes following a 'recent diagnosis' of normal pressure hydrocephalus. 'This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision and balance,' his statement reads. 'Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period. Billy is thankful for the excellent care he is receiving and is fully committed to prioritizing his health.' More from Billboard Billy Joel Postpones Tour Dates Following Surgery: 'My Health Must Come First' U2's Bono Calls for Hamas to 'Release the Hostages, Stop the War' During Ivor Novello Awards Speech Rob49 on Viral Stardom, 'Let Me Fly,' Collab Album With G Herbo & Making Music With Justin Bieber 'He is grateful for the support from fans during this time and looks forward to the day when he can once again take the stage,' the announcement continues, concluding with a message directly from Joel: 'I'm sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience, and thank you for understanding.' Fans with tickets to any of the 'Piano Man' singer's scheduled shows will receive automatic refunds to their original payment method. According to Cleveland Clinic, normal pressure hydrocephalus is a condition that occurs when cerebrospinal fluid builds up inside the skull, pressing on the brain. It can affect 'several brain-related abilities, including thinking and concentrating, memory, movement and more,' with treatment involving implanting a shunt to drain the excess fluid. Joel had several shows planned throughout the summer and fall of this year, as well as a few performances scheduled for the first half of 2026. His canceled appearances include his joint dates with Sting, Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks, as well as his solo gigs. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer previously delayed several of those tour dates by four months after revealing that he had recently undergone surgery. Joel did not disclose his medical condition at that time. 'While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first,' he said in a statement in March. 'I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding.' The five-time Grammy winner had been poised to make history on his trek, as his now-canceled shows at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, N.Y.; Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.; and Citi Field in Queens, N.Y., would have made him the first artist to play all three NYC-area stadiums in one summer. 'Each [venue] holds personal significance to me,' Joel had told Billboard of the feat in early February. 'There's nothing like the energy of the crowds in New York.' Joel's health update comes shortly after it was announced that his upcoming two-part documentary, Billy Joel: And So It Goes, will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June. Later in the summer, the project will air on HBO. See Joel's post below.

Rob49 Responds to Negative Reception to Justin Bieber's Verse on Unreleased ‘WTHelly' Remix
Rob49 has spoken about the negative reception Justin Bieber's verse got on his 'WTHelly' remix, and tells Billboard he doesn't know if he's gonna drop it. The New Orleans rapper speaks about his new album, Let Me Fly, and touches on the divisive reception he got after teasing an unreleased remix of 'WTHelly' featuring Biebs. After teasing the song on a Twitch livestream with the streamer Reggie, fans were quick to clown the pop star for trying to turn a lighthearted track into a soulful ballad. Rob said after speaking with Justin, he doesn't know if he'll officially release it to the public. More from Billboard Kneecap Respond to Terror Offense Charge: 'This is a Carnival of Distraction' BTS' Jin Returns to 'Fallon' With 'Don't Say You Love Me' Performance Mariah Carey and Pitbull to Headline Australia's Fridayz Live Tour 'I talked to Justin a couple of days ago and he was telling me he wanted to do some more songs, so I don't know,' Rob says when when discussing whether he'll drop off the remix. 'It's funny, when he first did it he was like, 'What you think? You think I can go harder?' I told him like, 'Man, I love it bro, if you feel comfortable about it, if you like it, then I love it.' You know? I just told him, 'If you like it you like it.' When asked about whether he was surprised the verse was so divisive, Rob shares, 'No, not really. I knew it was a possibility because, it was the same way when he asked me, 'Do you think I can go harder?'' Rob admits that he knew the singing aspect of Bieber's verse would turn some heads, and said that's just how it goes when trying to make a hit record. 'You just never know what it's gonna be, and fans don't understand that all the time,' he says. 'That you don't know what a hit is! Like it just kinda happens. Some people might've been like, 'Oh my god he sung!' and if it would have been a hit, it would have been a crazy banger. That be the difference between songs.' However, Rob says other 'WTHelly' remixes will soon see the light of day, and that the G Herbo revamp will be the first to arrive. 'I was gonna drop the [remix] with [G Herbo] first and add it to the album, but we wound up doing it too late,' Rob says of why it wasn't on Let Me Fly. 'So it might come out the next day on the album, then we're just gonna go from there with it.' Let Me Fly drops Friday (May 23) and includes features from Birdman, Meek Mill, Sexyy Red, Quavo, Polo G and Fridayy.
