Noah Cyrus has thrown support behind her dad’s latest release amid claims Billy Ray Cyrus’ family are “genuinely worried” about him.
On Friday (February 7), the ‘July’ singer took to her Instagram stories to share a post about Billy Ray’s latest track, ‘Lost’, writing that she was “so proud” of her dad’s “INCREDIBLE new single”.
Featuring Tinnesz and Profitt, the new song marks the country singer’s first new release since his disastrous performance at the Liberty Ball during Donald Trump’s inauguration.
His appearance at the January ceremony was plagued by noticeable technical difficulties, leading him to ask if attendees had all fallen asleep and offer to end the set early if they weren’t interested in seeing it.
Fans on social media expressed concern, with one writing at the time: “I don’t mean to be rude, he’s probably going through something. But dang that was a hard watch.”
The rocky performance also triggered his son, Trace Cyrus – older brother of Noah and Miley Cyrus – to share an open letter expressing concern for their father’s health and wellbeing.
“You may be upset with me for posting this, but I really could care less at this point,” he wrote. “Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away. Noah desperately has wanted you to be a part of her life, and you haven’t even been there for her… That’s your baby girl. She deserves better. Somehow just like me, she still idolises you though.”
Firerose then weighed in, saying said was “glad the truth is coming to light” after her ex-husband’s performance, telling People: “What’s being seen in public now reflects much of what I experienced in private during our relationship.”
“You should be ashamed of yourself. I will always love you but I no longer respect you as a man. Everyone close to you is terrified to tell you how they really feel. I’m not. Get help.”
The country music star seemingly addressed the comments publicly for the first time earlier this year, taking to YouTube Shorts to share a statement about rallying support for those in need.
Uploading a clip from the music video to his 2009 song ‘Somebody Said A Prayer’, Billy Ray shared a caption that read: “Giving thanks for the California Rain . Praying for the brokenhearted and their pain. Praying for my family. For my children … sons and daughters…and their mother,” he wrote.
“Let this moment be the start of healing for us all. ‘The past does not equal the future.’ Amen”.
