Billy Ray Cyrus had a rather difficult experience on stage.
The 63-year-old country singer was one of the performers at President Donald Trump’s Liberty Ball after the inauguration on Monday. Cyrus performed songs such as “Achy Breaky Heart” and the remix of Lil Nas X’s song “Old Town Road.”
However, there were some problems. The first was the singer’s voice, which sounded hoarse. While performing an a cappella version of “Old Town Road,” Cyrus claimed his guitar was cut.
“Is my guitar still on?” he asked the stage crew. “I think they interrupted me. I can’t hear my guitar anymore.
Claiming he was on stage to kill time, Cyrus continued to speak to the crowd.
“Check? Is anyone awake?” Cyrus asked, turning to the back of the stage for help. “Do you all want me to sink more or do you want me to leave the stage?”
After escaping Carrie Underwood’s technical difficulties that led her to sing an a cappella version of “America the Beautiful” at the inauguration, Cyrus attempted to persevere and sing part of “Achy Breaky Heart” before leave the stage.
