What is wrong with Miley Cyrus? The singer has used her voice as an instrument since she was a child, but an operation brought her an irreversible change
Ever since she was Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel, the "Wrecking Ball" singer stood out in pop music thanks to her characteristic voice, but in her evolution, her fans wonder what's wrong with Miley Cyrus?
The daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus had a before and after with the 2020 album "Plastic Hearts" where she reinvented herself as a rock artist and collaborated with Dua Lipa, Joan Jett and Billy Idol, as well as inviting Ariana Grande to her Backyard Sessions. After ending her relationship with Liam Hemsworth, what happens to Miley Cyrus is a pause in her career where she has to rethink her habits to take care of her voice and her health.
At 29 years old, the voice of Miley Cyrus has gone through some changes that not only have to do with her personal growth, but also with a surgical intervention that modified her vocal cords, causing an irreversible change in her tone. when speaking and singing.
The "Party in the U.S.A." singer She is known for her rough and hoarse voice that her fans recognize and love about her, as it allows her to give her personal touch when it comes to conveying emotions through her music thanks to a unique timbre. .
However, there is a notable difference between her singing style if we compare her first records with her most recent ones. This is due to the operation that was performed on her in 2019 and about which she spoke in detail on the Joe Rogan podcast.
The issue came to light because the host of the program praised Miley's voice and told her that not only her tone when singing, but the sound of her speaking "is very unusual."
A condition called Reinke's edema, which causes the vocal cords to swell with a buildup of jelly-like fluid.
This disease, which in many cases is caused by excessive and long-term smoking, was the cause of the artist having to undergo surgery just when she was preparing the release of "She Is Miley Cyrus", an album that would be made up of 2 EPs released previously.
My doctor said no one who was shy had this problem, this is for people who talk too much," the singer explained.
"I started touring probably at 12 or 13 years old. The adrenaline you get after a show, it's not so much the singing that affects your voice. It's what happens afterwards, you're turned on and it's hard to sleep."
"You stay up, talking all night. Then talking all night turned into smoking all night," she said.
It was after that operation that the "Midnight Sky" singer learned to take better care of her voice, admitting that having undergone surgery "was a gift because I was able to understand my instrument."
Miley Cyrus said that the voice, like a person's face, accumulates marks and wrinkles, and tells a story, which led her to be more careful in the daily use of it.
I don't smoke anymore and I'm sober," she said at the time. "I've been sober, the surgery did it for me because I learned a lot about its effects."
