Miley Cyrus opened up about her vocal condition, Reinke's edema, in a recent interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe. The condition causes hoarseness and a deeper voice, but Cyrus sees it as a unique part of her anatomy. Despite the challenges it presents, she refuses to treat it for fear of losing her distinctive sound. Cyrus, known for her live performances, compared singing with the vocal polyp to running a marathon with ankle weights on. She remains committed to her signature sound and refuses to lip-sync during her performances.
