Miley Cyrus shares ‘excruciating’ health scare in 2023

Last Modified: 22nd May 2025

Miley Cyrus detailed a painful health scare back in 2023, while co-hosting Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party with Dolly Parton.

While appearing on The Zane Lowe Show, the singer explained, “I had a pretty traumatic experience on a show that I was doing with Lorne [Michaels] when I was doing my New Year’s show. I had a medical emergency. I had an ovarian cyst rupture. We didn’t know exactly what was going on, so we did it.”

Cyrus, 32, added, “It was pretty traumatic because it was extremely excruciating, and I did the show anyway. But it was really, really hard on me.”

The Flowers hitmaker talked about the traumatizing event while hosting the 2023 NBC New Year’s Eve celebration alongside singer Dolly Parton, her godmother, and “SNL” boss Michaels.

According to Johns Hopkins, ovarian cysts can develop due to numerous reasons. While most of these cysts are harmless, some can cause severe symptoms. In cases of serious symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and bleeding, immediate treatment is required.

Miley Cyrus further revealed that the health scare made her consider quitting the music industry.

However, a discussion with Michaels made her think twice.

She said, “I had dinner with Lorne and he said something that now has stuck with me. He goes, ‘Six months. Everybody has six months to feel sorry for themselves, and then we start to rebuild.'”

“He’s like, ‘You have no idea how many artists have sat in this chair and told me they were quitting music. Everyone does this, everyone has these traumatic experiences.” Cyrus added.

The Grammy Award winner also addressed her Reinke’s edema vocal cord condition.

“I have this very large polyp on my vocal cord, which has given me a lot of the tone and the texture that has made me who I am. But it’s extremely difficult to perform with it, because it’s like running a marathon with ankle weights,” Cyrus explained.
