Miley Cyrus says she has “no desire” to go on tour, weeks after releasing her ninth album.

The US singer says she’s put off by how hard it is to maintain sobriety and her mental health whilst touring.

It’s been more than 10 years since Miley’s last major tour for her album Bangerz in 2014 and fans say it’s disappointing she doesn’t have plans for more shows.

Speaking to Good Morning America, the Flowers and Party in the U.S.A singer said she doesn’t feel like there is enough support for artists while they’re touring.

“I do have the physical ability, and I have the opportunities to tour,” she told the US show on Tuesday.

“I wish I had the desire, but I don’t.”

She also said it was “really hard to maintain sobriety when you’re out on the road” which is “a really important pillar of stability in my life”.

Miley released her latest album, Something Beautiful, at the end of May and although she hasn’t toured, she has appeared on stage including alongside Beyoncé as part of her Cowboy Carter show in Paris last month.

Her comments about touring come after she revealed in an Apple Music podcast that she has a rare condition affecting her vocal chords.

She said the condition, called Reinke’s edema, makes touring challenging because it causes the “ultimate vocal fry”.

Phoebe Ross says she’s been a Miley super-fan since she was five and had the chance to meet her idol when Greg James surprised her on his Radio 1 Breakfast show earlier this year.

Knowing she won’t have a chance to see her on tour is “disappointing,” the 20-year-old tells BBC Newsbeat.

“But obviously her reasoning is very valid.

“Millions of fans are going to be disappointed, but at the end of the day you’ve got to think she’s putting herself first for a reason,” she says.

“With touring there’s so much pressure and so much stress. She’s doing what she thinks is right.

“I think as fans we’ve got to back that.”

But fan Monica Taylor says after not touring for so long, Miley’s decision is especially disappointing “for those that have been lifelong fans and never had the chance to see her”.

“I think the interview just kind of felt like she doesn’t want to do anything,” she says, adding she’s keeping her fingers crossed the singer might consider a shorter tour or festival shows.

“I think all of us are holding out hope on that.”

For up and coming artists like Romz, a 25-year-old rapper and singer from London, it’s hard to imagine not wanting to go on tour.

“Performing in front of thousands of people every night, personally that’s my dream,” she tells Newsbeat, adding that touring is important for having a connection with your fans.

“But, I get it for artists that have done it for so long that it can take a toll on their mental health,” Romz adds.

“Every artist has a different mindset, and maybe Miley, she’s like it’s just not for me and that’s completely OK.”

Romz agrees with Miley that there should be “a more caring system” for artists on tour, saying artists’ wellbeing can be overlooked.

“I wish to do shows like [Miley] in the future but I’ve only done gigs at the moment around London,” she says.

“So I don’t actually know how it feels to do a show in front of 20-30,000 fans every single night.”
