When she was 27, Miley Cyrus made the decision to quit alcohol and drugs.

Indeed, she was afraid of joining the "Club of 27", in reference to all these artists who, like Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison or even Kurt Cobain, succumbed to this fateful age. .

“For me, 27, it was a year where I really had to protect myself.

It really made me want to get sober because we lost so many icons at 27.

It is a very pivotal period.

You enter the next chapter or else it's over for you.

I just have a feeling that, somewhere, some of these artists couldn't handle their own power, their own energy and their own strength… It's an energy, ”the singer recalled for the New Music Daily podcast. from Apple Music.

Controlled slips

And Miley Cyrus has fulfilled her goal since she just celebrated her 28th birthday in great shape.

Nevertheless, sobriety is a constant effort, and the pop star sometimes allows himself some slippages which, to hear him, are quite controlled.

“I am very disciplined.

It's pretty easy for me to be sober or to get in and out of sobriety because the day I don't want to do it anymore, I don't.

The day I do it, I do it.

You see ?

But when I no longer want, it's like that, ”she assured.
