Summary
June 16 will bring Billy Ray Cyrus' first album in more than a decade, with "The Hill" marking his return after a 2024 bout of sepsis and vocal paralysis.
People magazine reported Cyrus, 64, called the recovery a "miracle" and said his grandson Bear's words — "Try again" — helped push him back toward music.
The comeback follows a low point that also included his split from third wife FireRose in 2024, when he sought an annulment after seven months of marriage.
Cyrus said he has since repaired ties with his children after earlier family fallout and now feels ready to move forward, saying "the past is over and done."
The release extends a career that began with 1992's "Achy Breaky Heart" and later surged again with 2019's "Old Town Road" remix, after he had considered retiring.
