Miley Cyrus has credited her sober lifestyle to the surgery she had on her vocal cords in November, as it helped her to kick the cigarettes and alcohol for good. 

The Midnight Sky star, 27, was diagnosed with Reinke’s oedema, which is a swelling of the vocal cords due to a collection of fluid, and had surgery to rectify it last year. 

She revealed that the surgery changed her singing voice and meant she ended up going sober to boot. 

She said on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast: ‘I noticed a really big change to my voice, kind of a heaviness to it.

‘And I experienced some heavy things. I feel like it is a reflection. It is a kind of scar in a sense. [I am now] able to understand my instrument [and learned] a lot about the voice and how our experiences affect our voice.’

Speaking about how she quit smoking and drinking, Miley explained: ‘I started touring at probably 12 or 13.

‘The adrenaline that you have after a show – it’s not really the singing that affects your voice as much. It’s afterwards, you’re totally on and it’s really hard to get that sleep.

‘You stay up, talking all night. Later, the talking all night turned into smoking all night. And now, this is kinda where we’re at. 

‘I don’t smoke anymore, and I’m sober. I’ve been sober, pretty much the vocal surgery kind of did it for me because I just learned so much about the effects… 

‘You’re just taught it’s not really the drinking, it’s the staying up all night. Once you have your drink, you end up smoking.’

Miley added that her mum, Tish Cyrus, now thinks she is ‘the cleanest person’ she knows as she ended up giving up her vices following the op.
