Miley Cyrus revealed in an Apple Music interview that she nearly quit music after rupturing an ovarian cyst on New Year’s Eve 2023.

The decision to continue was influenced by advice from Canadian producer Lorne Michaels, who encouraged her to take six months to heal before rebuilding her career.

Michaels shared that many artists have faced similar setbacks and considered quitting but ultimately persevered.

Cyrus credits this guidance for helping her overcome doubt and maintain her passion for music.
