Trace Cyrus penned an open letter on Instagram to express his concern for his estranged country star dad following his disastrous performance at Trump's inauguration, writing, "You’re not healthy Dad & everyone is noticing it."

If you were put off by country star Billy Ray Cyrus's performance at Donald Trump's inauguration, you are not alone—Cyrus's son Trace is sincerely concerned by his father's latest chapter.

Following Cyrus's disastrous performance at the even, Trace took to social media to write an open letter to his estranged father to say that he and his siblings Noah and, of course, Miley, are "genuinely worried" about their father.


In the letter, posted to Instagram, Trace Cyrus urged his father to get help for what he seemed to imply is a substance abuse problem.

In the post, Trace wrote that he himself recently got sober and urged his father to reach out.

"We haven’t talked in a while but I’m over a year and half clean from alcohol. Guess what? I feel amazing."
"I don’t know what you’re struggling with exactly but I think I have a pretty good idea & I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help."

Trace also seemed to confirm long-circulating rumors that Cyrus is estranged from his children, writing:

"Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away."

He added that he, Miley and Noah are "genuinely concerned" about their father and "barely recognize" him anymore.

"We are all hanging on to memories of the man we once knew & hoping for the day he returns. You’re not healthy Dad & everyone is noticing it.”

Cyrus' performance was widely criticized after the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer sounded hoarse and seemed out of sorts amid what appeared to be multiple technical difficulties.

On social media, people found Trace Cyrus's post about his dad heartbreaking.






For his part, Cyrus claimed in his own Instagram post that his Liberty Ball performance was an "honor," and blamed the performance issues on technical difficulties.

Onstage, Cyrus also compared himself to Carrie Underwood, who also suffered technical difficulties and was said to be furious about the way they affected her performance.
