Miley Cyrus Got an Infection After Rolling Around on the Walk of Fame

23 May 2025 at 02:28

Miley Cyrus went to extreme lengths for her new musical film.

The β€œEasy Lover” singer, 32, revealed she was hospitalized with an unspecified leg infection around Thanksgiving last year after rolling around on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her latest opus, Something Beautiful. (Cyrus is set to drop her new album on May 30, followed by a musical movie featuring tracks from the record next month.)

During an appearance on the Thursday, May 22, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Cyrus said she β€œcaught something” while filming scenes set to the tune of β€œWalk of Fame,” one of the new album tracks.

β€œI filmed this video in October, and by November at Thanksgiving, I was put in the ICU for a moment β€” just for a moment,” Cyrus recalled. β€œMy leg began to disintegrate around the kneecap area.”

Cyrus continued, β€œThe doctor goes, β€˜Do you have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap?’ And I just saw myself [rolling around on the Walk of Fame] and I had to tell him.”

β€œTo have a surgeon look at you and say, β€˜Yuck’ … Like, they open up cadavers, they see inside the gut of humans, and they’re looking at me telling me I’m disgusting,” Cyrus quipped.

Cyrus shared that she decided to shoot on the Walk of Fame in the middle of the night to avoid costly rental fees.

β€œWith this movie, I had a big dream and a small budget. Well, I had a pretty good budget but I spent it all on my clothes,” the singer explained. β€œSo then, when it came time to go to the Walk of Fame, they were like, β€˜So what are you gonna do? Are you gonna rent this thing or what? β€˜Cos that’s really out of your price range.’ I’m like, β€˜No, we’ll just go in the middle of the night.’”

Cyrus then quipped to host Jimmy Kimmel, β€œHave you been to the Walk of Fame in the middle of the night? I thought it was my last day.”

Earlier this week, the β€œWrecking Ball” singer opened up about another health scare she experienced onstage during her 2023 New Year’s Eve special.

β€œI had a pretty traumatic experience on a show that I was doing with Lorne [Michaels] when I was doing my New Year’s show,” Cyrus said during a Wednesday, May 21, interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. β€œI had a medical emergency. I had an ovarian cyst rupture.”

An ovarian cyst rupture is when a fluid-filled sac on or inside an ovary bursts open and causes severe pain and bleeding inside the pelvis, per the Mayo Clinic. At the time, Cyrus β€œdidn’t know exactly what was going on,” so she proceeded with the show. Cyrus hosted alongside godmother Dolly Parton and performed duets with Parton, Sia and Paris Hilton.

β€œIt was pretty traumatic because it was extremely excruciating and I did the show anyway,” Cyrus recalled. β€œBut it was really, really hard on me.”
