Miley Cyrus reveals her voice's private secret
Miley Cyrus Reveals Struggle with Vocal Cord Condition
Pop sensation Miley Cyrus unveils the secret behind her distinctive raspy voice, a chronic condition that has impacted her career and daily life. In a candid interview with DJ Zane Lowe, the musician opens up about Reinke's edema, a vocal cord disorder that has plagued her for years.
Cyrus explains that she grapples with a large polyp on her vocal cord, a part of her anatomy that contributes to her singular sound but also presents challenges. "I'm running a marathon with weights on my ankles," she compares performing to, hinting at the physical effort required to maintain her signature vocal tone.
The condition has far-reaching consequences for the singer. Touring becomes an arduous task, as Cyrus can't strain her vocal cords too much. However, lip-syncing during performances is not an option for the musician. Balancing financial feasibility and vocal health, Cyrus admits that a tour would only be possible under specific conditions.
Substance abuse, such as drinking and smoking, is part of her past, but Cyrus clarifies that these habits did not cause her vocal condition. Reinke's edema is an intrinsic part of her vocal anatomy, a factor that shapes her unique vocal style.
Despite the obstacles, Cyrus refuses surgery, reiterating her identity is inexorably linked to her voice. "I am my voice," she declares, signaling her determination to soldier on.
