Billy Ray Cyrus’ son Trace has issued an emotional plea just days after his “trainwreck” performance at Donald Trump’s second inauguration.
The country singer’s performance didn’t go as smooth sailing as he might have hoped as it was plagued by technical difficulties. As he tried to mark Trump’s return to the White House, he ended up performing song Old Town Road without proper equipment. Struggling with the issues, he tried singing a cappella but was overheard asking the crew if his guitar was working.
Frustrated by the ongoing problems, he told the audience: “Y’all want me to sing more or you just want me to get the hell off the stage? I don’t give a damn. ” Viewers branded the performance a “trainwreck” and “embarrassing”. However, Billy hit back and said he “wouldn’t have missed the honor” of playing for Trump.
His son Trace has since claimed he “barely recognises” his famous dad and shared a photo of him joining Billy on stage when he was younger. Trace is the son of Billy’s ex wife Tish Cyrus and Bexter Neal Helson. When he was four-years-old, Billy adopted him. In his desperate plea, Trace wrote: “Since my earliest memories all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever.
“I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life. Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now. It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you. You may be upset with me for posting this but I really could care less at this point.
“Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away. Noah desperately has wanted you to be a part of her life and you haven’t even been there for her. That’s your baby girl. She deserves better. Somehow just like me she still idolizes you though. “
After marrying Tish in 1993, Billy adopted her two children Brandi and Trace. The couple went on to have Miley, Braison and Noah while Billy is also dad to son Christopher from a previous relationship. It has been reported Noah has remained “close” to her famous dad amid his split from her mum.
However, the once close relationship he had with daughter Miley went downhill when Trish and Billy split. They had been married for almost 30 years and it has been reported Miley took her mum’s side. Their relationship became even more strained when Billy moved on and married Australian singer Firerose, who’s 25 years younger than him.
Billy and Firerose split just seven months later amid an audio leaking that saw him brand Miley a “devil” and a “skank. ” It was reported in November that Miley and Billy’s relationship was severed and she intended to never speak to him ever again. Last summer, Trump shaded Miley at a rally that Billy happened to be at. “Billy Ray Cyrus is here. Where is Billy Ray? He’s around here someplace, and he’s great,” Trump said at the event. “He’s a conservative guy. I said, ‘How did you get such a liberal daughter? How had that happened, Billy Ray? ‘”
