Miley has had a busy few months. In March she has played shows in Chile, Colombia, Argentina and Brazil.
That same month, she also suffered a horrific incident when her private jet en route to Asunción, Paraguay, was forced to make an emergency landing after being struck by lightning.
She opened up about the scary ordeal at Lollapalooza Brazil while delivering a heartfelt speech in honor of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died last Friday.
“We had to do this emergency landing and the first person I called was Taylor because he was already there [Asunciónico Music Festival in Paraguay]’ said Cyrus, who then burst into tears as he performed Angels Like You in tribute to the drummer.
