Billy Ray Cyrus opens up in this personal conversation about love, family and the music that saved his life. Reflecting on his roots in Tennessee and the journey that took him from country music stardom to global fame, Billy Ray looks back on career milestones including the runaway success of ‘Old Town Road,’ daughter Miley Cyrus's upcoming ‘Hannah Montana’ 20th anniversary celebration and his pride in sharing the spotlight with his children — including collaborations with Noah and Braison on his new album. He also speaks candidly about a devastating health crisis that nearly claimed his life, the miracle healing he believes saved him and how losing his voice ultimately led to a surprising new sound reminiscent of legends Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen. Emotional, funny and unexpectedly vulnerable, Billy Ray reflects on his romance with Elizabeth Hurley, jokes about whether he'll ever retire and remembers the heartbreaking loss of his father during the height of ‘Hannah Montana’ as he considers the family, faith and music that continue to guide him today.
