Sinéad asks for apology; Miley launches new album
NEW YORK—Miley Cyrus said she was not sure she would make up with Sinead O’Connor after the drama between them.
When asked in an interview on Tuesday if she and the 46year-old performer would kiss and make up, Cyrus replied with: “I don’t know. Are we supposed to kiss?”
Cyrus made the comments in New York at a CD-signing for her new album, “Bangerz,” released on Tuesday.
The drama began last week when the Irish chanteuse warned the young singer to avoid being sexually exploited by the music industry. The first open letter came after Cyrus said her “Wrecking Ball” video, where she is nude and licks a sledgehammer, was inspired by O’Connor’s 1990 hit “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
Cyrus responded on Twitter by mentioning O’Connor’s struggles with bipolar disorder and compared the singer-songwriter to troubled actress Amanda Bynes, who has been treated in a psychiatric hospital.
The feud between the performers continued on Tuesday when O’Connor published a fourth open letter to Cyrus, asking for an apology.
The “We Can’t Stop” singer was all smiles as she thanked hundreds of fans at Planet Hollywood for buying and listening to her new album. “Bangerz” features Britney Spears, Pharrell, will.i.am and others.
“It’s so rad to see all my fans out here. I’ve been trying to keep this music a secret for a year, so now that it’s bumping on the speakers it feels so good,” she said.
