Miley Cyrus Reveals Traumatic Ovarian Cyst Rupture During New Year’s Eve Special

Miley Cyrus revealed that she suffered a severe medical emergency during her New Year's Eve concert while co-hosting with Dolly Parton, when an ovarian cyst ruptured, causing her excruciating pain but she continued the performance regardless. The experience led her to consider quitting music altogether, but encouragement from NBC producer Lorne Michaels, who advised her to take six months to recover and rebuild, helped her persevere. Cyrus also disclosed she has a large polyp on her vocal cords that makes live performances physically and mentally challenging, likening it to running a marathon with ankle weights. Despite these struggles, she is working on a new album but is not yet ready to return to live shows. Additionally, Cyrus has battled post-pandemic anxiety, which almost kept her from attending and performing at the 2024 Grammys, highlighting the mental health challenges behind her public persona. Her story sheds light on the intense physical and psychological pressures artists face in the entertainment industry.
