Billy Ray Cyrus’s son previously claimed that the entire singer’s family is worried about him. Trace Cyrus has claimed that his father, Billy Ray Cyrus, has “taken legal action” against him. There were no further details on what the “legal action” entailed.

Trace then expressed how upset and disappointed he was at the “Old Town Road” singer, before urging him again to get help. “You should be ashamed of yourself,” he continued. “I will always love you but I no longer respect you as a man. Everyone close to you is terrified to tell you how they really feel. I’m not. Get help.”.
The Independent has contacted representatives for Billy Ray for comment. During the Liberty Ball, Billy Ray caused consternation by wandering around the stage during a half-hearted rendition of “Old Town Road,” his 2019 collaboration with Lil Nas X. At one point, he even addressed the stage crew, explaining that he couldn’t hear his guitar.
“Check? Is anybody awake? Y’all want me to sing more or you want me to just get the hell off the stage?” he said. “In life, when you have technical difficulties, you just gotta keep going, or as President Trump would say, ‘You gotta fight.’”.
Days later, Trace posted his emotional, open letter to his father, sharing his family’s concerns. “Since my earliest memories, all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever,” Trace wrote on Instagram on January 23. “I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life. Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now. It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you.”.
