Who is Billy Ray Cyrus’ son Trace, who’s ‘genuinely worried’ about him? After his dad’s performance at Trump’s Liberty Ball, Miley Cyrus’ 35-year old brother took to Instagram to express his concern
The co-founder of the band Metro Station laments he can ‘barely recognise’ his famous father, who seemed to stumble through his set at Trump’s inauguration day Liberty Ball
As a child, Trace Cyrus wanted to be just like dad Billy Ray Cyrus growing up. Nowadays, he says, he can “barely recognise” his father as someone he once thought was “the coolest person ever”.
The younger Cyrus, whose sisters are pop stars Miley Cyrus and Noah Cyrus, expressed his complex emotions about the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer Wednesday on Instagram. The emotional open letter said he and his sisters “have been genuinely worried about” their father for years and claimed “you’ve pushed all of us away”.
“You’re not healthy dad and everyone is noticing it. [ …] I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help,” wrote Trace, who said he has been alcohol-free for more than a year.
Trace Cyrus shared his statement two days after his father performed at President Donald Trump’s Liberty Ball on Monday. The elder Cyrus kicked off his Inauguration Day set shakily singing along to both his verse and rapper Lil Nas X’s part on their 2019 hit “Old Town Road”, though his vocals were noticeably drowned out by the music video that played in its entirety in the background. At one point he had paused then restarted his singing to sync with the video.
