Miley Cyrus says she has no desire to go on tour

Miley Cyrus says she has "no desire" to go on tour, weeks after releasing her ninth album.

The US singer says shes put off by how hard it is to maintain sobriety and her mental health whilst touring.

Its been more than 10 years since Mileys last major tour for her album Bangerz in 2014 and fans say its disappointing she doesnt have plans for more shows.

Speaking to Good Morning America, the Flowers and Party in the U.S.A singer said she doesnt feel like there is enough support for artists while theyre touring.

"I do have the physical ability, and I have the opportunities to tour," she told the US show on Tuesday.

"I wish I had the desire, but I dont."

She also said it was "really hard to maintain sobriety when youre out on the road" which is "a really important pillar of stability in my life".

Miley released her latest album, Something Beautiful, at the end of May and although she hasnt toured, she has appeared on stage including alongside Beyoncé as part of her Cowboy Carter show in Paris last month.

Her comments about touring come after she revealed in an Apple Music podcast that she has a rare condition affecting her vocal chords.

She said the condition, called Reinkes edema, makes touring challenging because it causes the "ultimate vocal fry".

Phoebe Ross says shes been a Miley super-fan since she was five and had the chance to meet her idol when Greg James surprised her on his Radio 1 Breakfast show earlier this year.

Knowing she wont have a chance to see her on tour is "disappointing," the 20-year-old tells BBC Newsbeat.

"But obviously her reasoning is very valid.

"Millions of fans are going to be disappointed, but at the end of the day youve got to think shes putting herself first for a reason," she says.

"With touring theres so much pressure and so much stress. Shes doing what she thinks is right.

"I think as fans weve got to back that."

But fan Monica Taylor says after not touring for so long, Mileys decision is especially disappointing "for those that have been lifelong fans and never had the chance to see her".

"I think the interview just kind of felt like she doesnt want to do anything," she says, adding shes keeping her fingers crossed the singer might consider a shorter tour or festival shows.

"I think all of us are holding out hope on that."

For up and coming artists like Romz, a 25-year-old rapper and singer from London, its hard to imagine not wanting to go on tour.

"Performing in front of thousands of people every night, personally thats my dream," she tells Newsbeat, adding that touring is important for having a connection with your fans.

"But, I get it for artists that have done it for so long that it can take a toll on their mental health," Romz adds.

"Every artist has a different mindset, and maybe Miley, shes like its just not for me and thats completely OK."

Romz agrees with Miley that there should be "a more caring system" for artists on tour, saying artists wellbeing can be overlooked.

"I wish to do shows like [Miley] in the future but Ive only done gigs at the moment around London," she says.

"So I dont actually know how it feels to do a show in front of 20-30,000 fans every single night."
