Miley Cyrus’ “brutal infection” came in like a wrecking ball.
The singer revealed she landed in the ICU last year after filming her “Something Beautiful” visual album, which involved rolling around the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“I filmed this video in October [2024],” the former Disney Channel star, 32, described during Thursday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“By November at Thanksgiving, I was put in the ICU for a moment — just for a moment,” Cyrus recalled, telling viewers her “leg began to disintegrate around the kneecap area.”
She noted, “The doctor goes, ‘Do you have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap?’ And I just … had to tell him.”
The “Hannah Montana” alum joked about a surgeon finding her “disgusting” after all they’ve seen on the job.

“Like, they open up cadavers, they see inside the gut of humans,” Cyrus quipped.
The songwriter went on to describe shooting the “budget” video in Los Angeles in the middle of the night to avoid paying costly rental fees.
“I had a big dream and a small budget. Well, I had a pretty good budget but I spent it all on my clothes,” Cyrus confessed.
She asked Jimmy Kimmel whether he had ever gone to the tourist attraction after hours, joking she “thought it was [her] last day.”
Cyrus’ “Something Beautiful” record drops May 30.
The following month, the musician is releasing a musical movie featuring songs from the new record.
Cyrus shared another health scare on Wednesday’s episode of the “Zane Lowe Show.”
The Grammy winner said she suffered an ovarian cyst rupture while co-hosting “Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party” with Dolly Parton.
She called the “medical emergency … pretty traumatic” and “extremely excruciating.”
