Hollywood Singer Miley Cyrus Shares Hospital Ordeal from Knee Infection

In a candid interview on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show, Miley Cyrus, the 32-year-old pop superstar, detailed her harrowing experience with a severe knee infection that required hospitalization.

The incident, which occurred in November 2024, stemmed from an unconventional video shoot for a forthcoming visual album titled Something Beautiful. The filming took place late at night on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, when Cyrus and her team opted for a secret location due to budget constraints. The pop sensation was compelled to crawl around on the pavement during the shoot, which led to the infection.

Cyrus explained her predicament on Jimmy Kimmel's show, recounting, "My leg began to disintegrate, somehow around the kneecap area. A doctor asked me why I had such a severe infection on my kneecap, and I had to tell the truth."

She humorously described the shock from the medical professionals, who expressed disgust at the unusual cause of her infection. "I felt like they were looking at me like they do cadavers. They're used to seeing the insides of human bodies, including the brain during surgeries, yet they were looking at me as if I was the abnormality," she remarked.

The Flowers crooner then shared her attempts to film on the iconic Walk of Fame, saying, "They questioned if we would rent a space, but we decided to film in the middle of the night instead. I thought it was my last day."

The news of Cyrus's health scare comes as she prepares to release her upcoming album alongside the visual project on May 30, 2025. Despite the harrowing experience, she appears to have made a full recovery, demonstrating her resilience in the face of adversity.

Infections of this nature typically occur due to exposure to harmful bacteria in contaminated environments, such as unsanitary streets. The severity of Cyrus's infection required ICU admission, aggressive IV antibiotics, and possibly surgical debridement to remove infected tissue or address bone involvement. The recovery process can involve prolonged antibiotic therapy, wound care, and physical therapy.
