Miley Cyrus Admits 'It's Hard To Maintain Sobriety, Keep Mental Wellness While Touring'
Miley Cyrus thinks it's 'really hard to maintain sobriety" while touring. The 32-year-old pop star hasn't paired an album with live shows since her Bangerz Tour back in 2014, and Miley has now revealed that she has no intention of hitting the road anytime soon.
During an appearance on Good Morning America, Miley – who quit using marijuana in 2017 – explained: 'It's really hard to maintain sobriety when you're on the road, which is kind of a pillar of stability in my life. None of this that I create would even be possible without the way I think about things."
Miley also thinks there's an insufficient 'infrastructure" for touring artists. The pop star said: 'I do have the physical ability. I have the opportunities to tour, but I wish I had the desire, but I don't. I also don't think that there's an infrastructure that supports artists."
Miley acknowledged that touring has negatively impacted her mental health in the past. The Wrecking Ball hitmaker said: 'I do think it's really hard to keep mental wellness." In 2023, Miley admitted that touring 'isn't healthy" for her.
The singer has enjoyed huge success in her music career, but Miley believes that touring 'erases [her] humanity" and stifles her ability to write new songs. The Flowers hitmaker explained in a TikTok video: 'Having every day the relationship between you and other humans being subject and observer isn't healthy for me because it erases my humanity and my connection. And without my humanity and my connection, I can't be a songwriter, which is my priority."
Miley also reflected on the differences between herself and her dad, music star Billy Ray Cyrus. The chart-topping singer admitted that she had financial and emotional stability during her younger years, whereas her dad was forced to struggle through the early years of his life. Miley explained: 'My dad grew up the opposite of me. I grew up on a soundstage, like in a house with a family who was super close and all lived under the same roof, and I grew up financially stable and emotionally stable, I think, in my relationships also. That's something that my dad didn't have."

‘Kaha Se Aate Hai Ye Log?' Saree-Clad Woman Sits Atop Tree In Bizarre Viral Video
The dramatic visual was deeply unsettling, more so because the tree where the woman sat was swaying dangerously. How far can you go for an Instagram reel to reach millions of views? From dancing on moving trains to recording oneself at the edge of a cliff, some people really take it too far, risking their lives just for some likes and comments. In a similar display of absurdity, a woman has grabbed attention online for executing a bizarre stunt. It involves her sitting atop a leafless tree and calling herself 'pedo ki rani (the queen of trees)." The video of the same was posted by the woman on her Instagram handle, sparking mixed reactions. The woman was seen perched on the bare branches of a tree, clad in a red saree. Rolling hills and a distant townscape featured in the backdrop. While the exact height of the tree was unclear from the video, it appeared to be towering. The dramatic visual was deeply unsettling, more so because the tree where the woman sat was swaying dangerously. Not to forget, her choice of outfit added to the risk. One misstep and the situation could turn into a tragedy in a matter of seconds. The video opened to the woman acting as if she were the queen of trees. She said, 'Mai pedo ki rani aur itni jaldi khatam nahi hogi meri kahani. Senapati, jake rajya mei ghoshna kardo ki paedo ki sirf ekhi rani, maharani hai. Kuynki koi bhi pedo par apna hak nahi bana skta. Pedo par sirf mera haq mai. Inke suraksha karne ka dwaitta sirf mera hai. Aj chali hun mai shuru karne apni intekaam ki kahan. (I'm the queen of trees, and my story won't end so easily. General, go announce across the kingdom that there is only one queen—one empress—of the trees. Because no one else can claim authority over them. The trees belong to me alone. The responsibility of protecting them lies solely with me. Today, I set out to begin the story of my revenge." The internet had lots to say about the video. One user called the woman a 'Branch manager." 'Agle Bahubali mei tumhe hi cast krenge (You will be cast in the next Bahubali movie)," wrote another. 'Pedo ki rani, neeche giri toh khatam kahani (Queen of trees, if you fall your story will end)" joked one person. A social media user questioned, 'Kaha se aate hai ye log?" An individual pointed out that the woman was trying to send the message 'to protect trees and forest around us". 'All jokes apart, this seems to be a very risky place to sit like shaking the entire tree for the effect. Also, even if this is just an illusion and the tree is very close to the ground, a fall from it can still lead to injuries. Funny video though," commented a concerned person. So far, the video has received over 14.2 million views. Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: July 22, 2025, 13:44 IST News viral 'Kaha Se Aate Hai Ye Log?'

Saiyaara Star Ahaan Panday Was 'Least Pampered', Slept In A Passageway: 'They'd See Me In My Towel'
Saiyaara actor Ahaan Panday shared stories from his childhood and revealed he once lived in a corridor until he was 14. Saiyaara Actor Ahaan Panday: Ahaan Panday might be riding high on the blockbuster success of Saiyaara, but things weren't always so shiny for him growing up. The 26-year-old actor, who made a splash with his debut in Mohit Suri's film, recently opened up in a YouTube video about some very humble beginnings inside a very full house. Despite being the nephew of 80s star Chunky Panday and having a well-connected family, Ahaan said he often got the short end of the stick as a kid – starting with his bedroom. In a video appearance on sister Alanna Panday and her husband Ivor's channel, he revealed, 'I can't give you a specific one but I do know that I was the least pampered. I know that because I lived in a corridor for 7 years of my life." Alanna, who has featured Ahaan in several of her videos before, quickly jumped in to clarify. 'It was not a corridor. It was a room built." But Ahaan was clear on the layout. 'It was a room built in a corridor. It was a corridor first. One side was the exit, and the other side were my dad and Dadi's bedrooms. I was in the passageway. Everyone would see me in my towel everyday." Now living in a four-storey home built by his father Chikki Panday in Mumbai, Ahaan shared that the mansion comes with its own game room and separate staff flats – a long way from his makeshift bedroom growing up. The video also saw Alanna reflect on their joint family life, which included not just her immediate family but also Chunky, Bhavana Panday (known from Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives), and cousins Ananya and Rysa Panday. 'We lived in a joint family. There's limited space. Would you rather live in a joint family full of love than have your own space and live separately?" she said. Ahaan nodded in agreement, adding, 'It was great. I won't have it any other way." While the behind-the-scenes stories from his childhood have been getting attention online, Ahaan's career is already hitting major milestones. Saiyaara has raked in over Rs 105 crore in just four days – a rare feat for a debut film in recent years. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Elizabeth Hurley Radiates Old Hollywood Glamour In Gaurav Gupta's Sheer Gown
Appearing on the cover of a magazine, Elizabeth Hurley stunned in a heavily-embellished sequinned sheer gown by Indian designer Gaurav Gupta. Elizabeth Hurley has long been synonymous with timeless elegance and unapologetic glamour. Her latest photoshoot, captured by the iconic Ellen von Unwerth, is no exception. For this special editorial photoshoot, the British actress and model slipped into a show-stopping creation by Indian couturier Gaurav Gupta, known globally for his sculptural, avant-garde silhouettes. Taking to his Instagram, Gaurav Gupta shared images of Elizabeth Hurley clad in a breathtaking gown from his Autumn/Winter 2024 Couture Collection, aptly named the Moonstone Ivory Crystal Erosion Column Gown. The ensemble, with its celestial allure and red-carpet drama, proves once again why the designer is a favourite among celebrities looking for statement couture. Take a look at the pictures here. Sharing the pictures, Gaurav wrote, '@ElizabethHurley1 wears Gaurav Gupta Couture for the @EllenVonUnwerthVon Issue. Elizabeth wears the Moonstone Ivory Crystal Erosion Column Gown from the Autumn Winter '24 Couture Collection.". The gown, true to Gaurav's signature style, combined futuristic elements with classic glamour. The floor-grazing silhouette was meticulously encrusted with shimmering sequins and crystals, giving the entire garment a moonlit sheen. Its column shape hugged Elizabeth's frame to perfection, while the long sleeves and high neckline introduced a regal edge, reminiscent of Old Hollywood icons like Grace Kelly and Lauren Bacall. What made the gown truly distinctive, however, was its sculptural, erosion-inspired texture: an artistic interpretation of Gaurav's ongoing exploration of time, form, and movement. The intricate metallic embroidery, fused with 3D embellishments, created a textural landscape that shimmered with every movement, playing beautifully against studio lighting. Rather than competing with the drama of the gown, Elizabeth opted for a refined approach to styling. She wore delicate earrings that added a subtle sparkle without distracting from the garment's brilliance. Completing the look was a luxurious fur stole in an ivory tone, a nod to vintage glamour that made the entire ensemble feel like a modern-day fairytale. Her beauty look was kept classic: voluminous curls and soft makeup allowed the couture to take center stage while preserving Hurley's signature elegance. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
