Celebrities often find themselves in the middle of gossip and scandal, and Miley Cyrus is no different. However, the latest buzz isn’t about Miley herself but about her family.
There are rumors going around that Miley’s younger sister, Noah Cyrus, might be romantically involved with their mother’s new husband, Dominic Purcell. This surprising situation has caught Miley off guard, but she continues to stand by her family no matter what.
Even though Miley Cyrus is always in the spotlight, she keeps her family life private. Sources close to her say she didn’t know about the rumored relationship between her 24-year-old sister Noah and 54-year-old Dominic Purcell, who recently married their mother, Tish. Miley only talked to her mom about it after hearing reports that Noah and Purcell might have been involved before he married Tish.
When Miley Cyrus heard the surprising news, she showed her strong support for her family. Even though the situation might seem odd, her love for her mom is more important to her than any worries she has. Miley, her mom Tish, her sister Noah, and Dominic Purcell haven’t commented on the rumors, keeping everything quiet.
The rumored romance has caused some tension in the Cyrus family. Noah Cyrus is said to be upset about her mom’s relationship with Dominic Purcell. People close to them say Noah and Purcell had a casual relationship before he started dating Tish. This lack of communication has made things difficult for the family, showing how hard it can be to deal with personal issues when you’re famous.
Adding to the complexity, Tish married Dominic Purcell in Miley’s backyard in August 2023, just a few months after Noah got engaged to fashion designer Pinkus in June 2023. This also came more than a year after Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus divorced in April 2022, which was a tough time for the Cyrus kids. Despite all these challenges, the Cyrus family is staying strong and working through their issues together.
Amid the sensational headlines and gossip, Miley Cyrus’s response shows the importance of family unity and support during tough times. Even with all the drama, the Cyrus family is trying to keep things normal. Their love and understanding help them stay strong, and Miley continues to be a solid support for her family. With grace and resilience, she helps them through difficult times, proving that love conquers all.
Australia’s adopted popstar son Leo Sayer reflects on his career
“I look at my role as being a friend of Canberra Hospital, I can bring some pleasure and happiness sometimes to people who are really in difficult times in their lives.”
With backing music from a Bluetooth speaker, Sayer croons his way around the cancer wards, making a human connection with everyone he comes across.
Canberra Region Cancer Centre Operations Manager Caroline McIntyre says Sayer’s visits are typically kept a surprise for patients and staff.
“He’s always come in so discreetly,” she says.
“Normally it’s just very quiet, he comes up in the back lift and says hello to literally everybody.
“Some of them are doing it tough, and to have a little bit of joy and light – it really gives them a lift.
“What makes me happy is to see people getting chemo on their feet dancing.”
Jamming with Jimi Hendrix, Countdown and the Troubadour
Originally a graphic designer by trade, English-born Leo Sayer rose to pop prominence in London in the late 1960s, as a singer-songwriter – and was soon adopted by Australia as an honorary son after his first tour here in 1974.
He went on to become an Australian citizen in 2009.
Sayer was a regular on ABC TV’s Countdown during the 70s and 80s, performing chart-toppers like “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing”, “When I Need You”, “More Than I Could Say” and “Orchard Road”.
He blushingly admits they were wild days – when he didn’t always live up to his “good-guy” public persona.
“It was mad, I mean, Top of the Pops in England, Countdown over here,” he says.
“You were mobbed by the fans, I remember being dragged out of a limousine the first tour that I came here, and then speaking to crazy people like Molly Meldrum on TV and trying to sort of like take it all in.”
It seems hard to believe – the petite, well-spoken singer, with a mane of curly hair that inspired changing his name from Gerard to Leo – beating off mobs of screaming fangirls.
Sayer circulated in superstar company, becoming close friends with former Beatles George Harrison and Paul McCartney, collaborating with Roger Daltrey of The Who, and even sharing a sly cigarette or two with John Lennon and Yoko Ono who had a flat above his design studio.
“I met Jimi Hendrix right at the start of his career. I actually jammed with him, playing the harmonica, and him playing the guitar,” he says.
Recalling his 1975 opening night at the famous Troubadour Club in Los Angeles, he looked up to see an intimidating line-up of fans in the front row.
“It was David Bowie, Elton John, and ‘The Fonz’ [Henry Winkler].”
Alongside them: John Cleese, Mick Jagger, Bernie Taupin, and comedian Marty Feldman.
“We never thought it would last, we were adapting to things around us, writing songs about things that are around us,” he says.
“And we thought they were only for our generation — so the amazing thing is my music’s become like a fine wine, where you lay it down and years later, it becomes a collector’s item.
“We’re in an age where the music that I make, young kids are actually latching onto it now, and they’re finding that that generation and that style of music we made is as current now as anything.”
Sayer’s health battles, still spreading hope at 76
Leo Sayer says his hospital charity work caps off a career dedicated to providing joy through music.
“It’s a nice piece of synchronicity really, because I was born in the grounds of a hospital in Shoreham by Sea in Sussex, near Brighton in England,” Mr Sayer said.
“I suppose I’ve always felt comfortable in hospitals and being around hospitals.
“Growing up, my dad was a hospital engineer, Mum was a nurse, my sister was a matron.”
Sayer has health struggles of his own, including three stents in his heart, which help him have a genuine connection to the hospital patients he entertains.
“[My music] is providing something that isn’t taking away from any of the treatment that’s going on. It’s providing something that’s just putting a smile on peoples’ faces.
“Music is communication and that’s what this is all about, we’re communicating, we’re making people feel better.
“We’re not healing people with music, but we are making them feel better about their healing.
“To sell out Canberra Hospital will do me fine.”
