Miley Cyrus has said she won’t be embarking on any stadium tours anytime - admitting that she has no ‘desire’ to sing in front of thousands of people.
The 30-year-old singer’s last tour - titled Bangerz - was all the way back in 2014, and although she’s still churning out hits and making the odd acting appearance, it doesn’t look like she’ll be heading on a tour in the foreseeable future.
Miley, who recently said she ‘regrets’ her Wrecking Ball video, said she prefers to perform for friends rather than packed out arenas.

During an interview with British Vogue, she said: "Like singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn't really the thing that I love. There's no connection. There's no safety.
"It's also not natural. It's so isolating because if you're in front of 100,000 people then you are alone."
When pressed on whether she would like to tour again at some point, she admitted that it had ‘been a minute’ since her last tour.
She went on: "After the last [arena] show I did, I kind of looked at it as more of a question. And I can't."
She continued: "Not only 'can't,' because can't is your capability, but my desire. Do I want to live my life for anyone else's pleasure or fulfilment other than my own?"
Cyrus also set the record straight on whether her hit Flowers was based on her relationship with now-ex-husband Liam Hemsworth.
Miley and the Aussie star first dated back in 2009 before splitting up in 2013 - they reunited in March 2016 and got hitched just before Christmas in 2018.
However, the relationship wasn’t to be and the pair split up for good in 2019, with Miley later branding their short marriage a 'disaster'.
Opening up about her track, Flowers, Cyrus told the publication: "I never need to be a master at the craft of tricking an audience. It will set itself on fire all by itself.”
She went on: "I wrote it [Flowers] in a really different way. The chorus was originally: ‘I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand, but I can’t love me better than you can'.
"It used to be more, like, 1950s. The saddest song. Like: ‘Sure, I can be my own lover, but you’re so much better'."
The song changed throughout the writing process into the ones fans love so much today, with Cyrus adding now: "The song is a little fake it till you make it. Which I’m a big fan of.”
