Miley Cyrus has stated she isn’t going to be heading out on tour anytime soon, and shared a statement explaining the reasoning behind her decision.

The statement comes after Cyrus recently spoke to British Vogue and explains that she wasn’t going to head out on a big tour for her most recent album, ‘Endless Summer Vacation’.

She then took to social media to explain her thoughts, and clear up any sort of misinterpretation regarding her comments about how she feels about her fans.

“For clarity I feel connected to my fans NOW more than ever. When I win, WE win. Even if I don’t see them face to face every night at a concert, my fans are felt deeply in my heart,” she wrote.

“I’m constantly creating and innovating new ways that I can stay connected to the audience I love — without sacrificing my own essentials.

“Performing for YOU has been some of the best days of my life & we will continue this journey together as we have for the last almost two decades. This has nothing to do with a lack of appreciation for the fans & everything to do with I simply don’t want to get ready in a locker room. Which is the reality of life on the road.

“These looks I’ve been turning don’t travel well. The archival looks don’t fold. I just don’t want to sleep on a moving bus. It isn’t what’s best for me right NOW, & if you’ve been following my career you know that I always change and the way I feel about that could too. Love you forever, I’m just on my Endless Summer Vacation.”

Cyrus prefers smaller, more intimate spaces

During her recent conversation with British Vogue, Cyrus made it clear she prefers performing in front of smaller, more intimate spaces rather than big arenas.

“It’s been a minute,” Cyrus said when she began speaking about touring. “After the last [headline arena] show I did [in 2014], I kind of looked at it as more of a question.

“And I can’t. Not only can’t, because can’t is your capability, but my desire. Do I want to live my life for anyone else’s pleasure or fulfillment other than my own?

“Like singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn’t really the thing that I love. There’s no connection. There’s no safety. It’s also not natural. It’s so isolating because if you’re in front of 100,000 people then you are alone.”
