Miley Cyrus says one of the reasons she has not toured in nearly a decade is that touring does not always provide "the same amount of rest and recuperation" and that the musician's relationship with the audience is "precarious". problem.” And the monitor is not healthy for me.
The "Flower" hit-maker spoke about her decision to continue participating in music festivals, television appearances, and one-off appearances after her 2014 Bangerz tour on the final episode of her TikTok series Was .
“The trip really prepared me as a Tour fan,” says Cyrus. "It was only one day of performance or competition, and that few people on tour understand. The show is only 90 minutes long, but that's your life."
In real life, Cyrus says, she's seen musicians "perform with a certain level of power and clarity," but to do so consistently, as the tour requires, "there has to be an equal amount of recovery and relief."
The "Jaded" singer added that being attached to her ego during her performance is "the hardest switch for me to turn off" and can get in the way of her songwriting process.
“There is a certain level of ego that has to come into play and I think it gets abused when I'm on tour. Once that switch is on, it's hard to turn it off. I think every night when you're training your ego to be active, it's hard to turn it off.” Being the daily object and censor of my relationships with others is not good for me because it is bad for my health. Remove my humanity, my connections, my lack of humanity "Without my connections, I can't be a composer, that's my priority."
Cyrus' latest comments come on the heels of statements she made to British Vogue as part of its May cover, reflecting the demands of the tour. “After my last [arena] performance in 2014, I saw this as another question. I can't either. It's not just saying 'I can't' because your abilities can't, it's my desire as well,” he told the magazine. Want to live my life for the pleasure or satisfaction of someone other than myself?
The singer clarified this statement in an Instagram post, where he reassured his fans that his decision to withdraw from the tour was not based on the relationship he had with the fans.
"To be clear, I feel connected to my fans now more than ever," he wrote. “When I win, we win. Even though I don't see them in person every night at the concert, my fans feel it in my heart. I'm constantly creating and implementing new ways to stay in touch with the fans I love without compromising my core.
He added, "It has nothing to do with the fans not agreeing or wanting me to be ready in the dressing room." "What are the realities of life on the road?"
