Miley Cyrus
In a daring tale that underscores the lengths Miley Cyrus will go for her art, the multi-talented singer revealed a shocking ordeal during her recent guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! While filming a new project linked to her latest musical venture, Something Beautiful, Cyrus contracted a severe infection after a late-night shoot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This decision, driven by a need to avoid crowds, took an unexpected turn and ended with Cyrus in intensive care.
The Grammy-winning artist recounted how her creative ambitions led her to the famed sidewalk in October. By Thanksgiving, Cyrus found herself seeking medical attention. “My leg began to disintegrate… around the kneecap area,” she shared with Kimmel, painting a disturbing picture of the infection’s impact. When a bewildered doctor asked about the source of such a gruesome infection, the memory of her Hollywood escapade was Cyrus’ only explanation.
“I filmed this video in October, and by November, I was in ICU,” she elaborated, emphasizing the severity of her condition. The holiday season chaos had limited her options for hospital space, exacerbating an already harrowing situation. Cyrus’ recollection of the surgeon’s reaction — a mix of shock and disgust — highlighted the gravity of her injury: “They open up cadavers. They see inside the guts of humans, and they’re looking at me, telling me I’m disgusting. And they do brain operations!”
Despite these dark moments, the singer maintains a sense of humor about the situation. She confessed to Kimmel that in her exuberance, she misallocated the budget intended for her fantasy-fueled visual album. “I had a big dream and a pretty good budget for the film, but spent it all on my clothes,” she admitted with a laugh. Determined not to be deterred, Cyrus opted for an impromptu nighttime shoot at the legendary location, despite it being “out of [her] price range.”
The unexpected health scare did not deter Cyrus from launching her ambitious project. Her visual album, described as a “unique visual experience fueled by fantasy” and “one of a kind pop opera,” is set to hit the big screen on June 12, shortly after the release of her ninth studio album on May 30.
Even after revealing this unglamorous side of filmmaking, Cyrus injected humor into the situation, suggesting she “wanted this video to be so fabulous” but now had shared a “filthy [story].” Kimmel, quick to support the artist’s sacrifice, interjected, “No, what you’ve told everyone is that you sacrificed for this, you nearly gave your life for this.”
With this latest incident, Cyrus exemplifies relentless commitment and dedication to her craft, shedding light on the challenges artists face and their willingness to endure unexpected and often shocking hurdles to pursue their grand visions.
