A plane carrying pop star Miley Cyrus on the final leg of its current world tour made an emergency landing in South America on Tuesday after being struck by lightning. No one was injured.
Cyrus, 29, who was on his way to copy the second day of the Asunciónico 2022 music festival on Wednesday, wrote on Twitter and Instagram: “For my fans and everyone concerned after hearing about my flight to Asuncion,” the capital of Paraguay. “Our plane was caught in a big unexpected storm and struck by lightning.”
Accompanying the post were a 3-second video showing a flash of light outside an airplane window, followed by gasps from off-screen voices, and a close-up photo of part of the outside of the airplane with a large, jagged tooth surrounded by shock. marked.
Tuesday night the Paraguayan news website NotiCde e Video tweeted of what it said was Cyrus’ plane at Guaraní International Airport in Minga Guazú, Paraguay, about 180 miles from Asunción, served by Silvio Pettirossi International Airport.
“My crew, the band, friends and family who were all traveling with me are safe after an emergency landing,” Cyrus continued on her social media posts. “Unfortunately we could not fly to Paraguay. I LOVE YOU,” she added, with an emoji of a broken heart. It was unclear whether Cyrus meant Asunción or whether the plane actually landed in another country. Cyrus had flown from Bogotá to Colombia, where she performed at the Movistar Arena on Monday.
Extreme weather had already caused the Asunciónico concert promoters to cancel the first day of the two-day festival on Tuesday, in which Foo Fighters, Doja Cat and Machine Gun Kelly made headlines.
Anchored the second day was “Wrecking Ball” singer Cyrus – who according to a spokeswoman who spoke to USA Today on Wednesday, still planned to perform, except for a second day cancellation – in Jane’s Addiction. Starting Wednesday evening, the second day will remain on the program.
Cyrus concludes her current tour Saturday at Lollapalooza Brasil in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
