The interview came out on Miley’s 28th birthday. She says she took extra care of herself in the past year, because she was afraid of ending up in the ‘club of 27’.

“For me, 27 was really a year in which I had to protect myself,” says Miley. “That’s what made me want to stay sober, because we lost so many icons at 27. I think some of those artists couldn’t handle their own power, their energy and their strength. It’s a critical phase of life.”
Earlier, the singer spoke candidly about her sex and love life in a podcast.
