Miley Cyrus is opening up about the ups and downs of her career in the entertainment industry. The talented singer, who recently released her latest album following the success of her hit song ‘Flowers,’ revealed to British Vogue that she will not be touring anytime soon.

“It’s been a minute. After the last [headline arena] show I did [in 2014], I kind of looked at it as more of a question. And I can’t,” she said referring to the ‘Bangerz Tour.’

“Not only ‘can’t’...because can’t is your capability, but my desire. Do I want to live my life for anyone else’s pleasure or fulfillment other than my own?” She said to the publication, before letting her “conclusion hang in the air.”

Miley seemed to be referring to her recent experience in music festivals, which took a physical toll on her. “I love performing but pretty much for [my friends].” She said. “Like singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn’t really the thing that I love. There’s no connection. There’s no safety. It’s also not natural. It’s so isolating because if you’re in front of 100,000 people, then you are alone.”

She continued to explain that after the album came out she was “in a lot of pain. I had gone to the Gucci release party, I had gone to Versace, you know, my adrenals had been kind of drained, and I was kind of back into the pop star thing and I noticed I had this flare-up.“
