Billy Ray Cyrus has opened up about his near-death health scare.

In conversation with People on June 10, recalled the time he was really sick, saying, "I got really sick and almost died."

“As I was trying to stay alive, at times they sent me home from the hospital, and I’d be there with [my dog] Tommy Jack," he added. "My body was blowing up and there was a toxicity of some type of whatever. If it would have erupted, I would have died."

Continuing, "In the last moment, I had a prayer answered. There’s a prayer rock, and I found my knee. Part of the reason it’s so white is [because] I started getting on that rock every morning, every day, every sunset, every night. I [would] put my knee in there. I was like, ‘God, please. I need a miracle. I need a miracle.’”

Soon after, the 64-year-old singer and actor was set to go in for “one last surgery.”

"I got to the hospital, they go, ‘Mr. Cyrus, it’s gone, you’re healed,’" Miley Cyrus’s father shared. “(I) had a miracle. Love, hope, music, joy, things that I’d really have forgotten exactly, maybe, what they felt like, and I go, ‘Oh!’ Even to dream again.”

After being diagnosed with vocal paralysis in 2024, which left him unable to sing, Billy especially dreamed of getting back to making music.

“I’ve been stricken with a disease and I have no voice. I can’t talk,” he noted. “I start believing, once I had the first miracle, I said, 'Cyrus, you can’t talk or sing now, but believe you can.’”
