Noah Cyrus Duets With Dad Billy Ray at Album Release Show: ‘It’s Always Been the Gift of Music That’s Brought Us Together’

Noah Cyrus was joined by some pretty special people on and offstage at her recent album release concert in London, including dad Billy Ray.

Sharing photos from the performance via Instagram on Sunday, the younger Cyrus gave her famous father a special thank-you for helping her mark the arrival of new album I Want My Loved Ones to Go With Me. The pair sang “Stand Still” from Noah’s 2022 album, The Hardest Part, as well as “With You,” a track originally written by Billy Ray that his youngest daughter covered for her new LP.

“Thank you always to my incredibly talented band and to my father, who I love so dearly, for joining us,” Noah wrote. “We got to sing Stand Still and With You, which is actually a song my father wrote from his childhood bedroom and was one of the first songs he ever wrote.

“That’s been a song of comfort that he’s sung to me since I was a little kid and it meant so much to me to be singing it together and share that moment with one another,” she continued. “It’s always been the gift of music thats brought us together. feeling extremely grateful for the incredible fans who were singing every word from the new record. im one lucky girl.”

Also at the show was Billy Ray’s girlfriend, actress Elizabeth Hurley. “Your show was absolutely beautiful,” the movie star wrote in the comments of Noah’s post. “Thank you for having us. It was wonderful to see you play with your Daddy.”

In one of the snaps Noah posted, she hugs her dad onstage as both of them smile. She also shared a video of herself singing gently as Billy Ray plays acoustic guitar behind her.

The country star shares Noah with ex-wife Tish Cyrus, along with superstar daughter Miley and son Braison. Billy Ray is also stepfather to Tish’s two kids from a past relationship, daughter Brandi and son Trace.

The father-daughter performance at Noah’s concert follows months of rumored rifting within the Cyrus clan. In January, Trace voiced concerns for his dad in an open letter, writing: “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.”

Shortly afterward, however, Noah signaled that she and her father were on good terms by praising Billy Ray’s song “Lost” upon its release. Miley has also since addressed the speculation, writing on Instagram Stories in May, “My dad and I have had our challenges over the years … I’m at peace knowing bridges have been built and time has done a lot of healing.”
