Miley Cyrus can’t catch a break. On the heels of her nasty split from Liam Hemsworth, RadarOnline.com has learned that her older brother recently suffered an alcohol relapse.
Miley’s older brother Trace, 30, made a shocking revelation about his battle with substance abuse in a somber post to Instagram on Tuesday, September 3.
“I wanna apologize for not having much motivation to post lately. Made it to 44 days sober then slipped up. Even though I haven’t continued to keep drinking I just haven’t felt too great about myself,” the Metro Station singer wrote.
He continued: “Life is hard for everyone in different ways & drinking has been my way to escape.. Now that I’m not drinking, bad habits like chain smoking has increased only to make me feel more guilty..The most important thing in my life is music & sadly all these bad habits have slowed me down from being the best artist I can be. I hope my true supporters can continue to give me this time I need to grow & better myself. I have so much new music & videos I want to put out into the world but I know now isn’t the right time. I’ll be back soon stronger than ever.”
Aside from Trace, Miley also has two sisters, Brandi, 32, and Noah, 19, and another brother, Braison, 25.
As RadarOnline.com readers know, Miley has used music as an outlet for her own struggles. Most recently she wrote a breakup song about Liam, in which she hints at “whiskey and pills” causing a rift in their marriage.
In the single, titled “Slide Away,” Miley sings, “I want my house in the hills/Don’t want the whiskey and pills/I don’t give up easily/But I don’t think I’m down.”
Fans were quick to point that the 26-year-old’s reference to the “hills” refers to her new romance to Brody Jenner’s ex, Kaitlynn Carter.
Meanwhile, sources told RadarOnline.com that Liam’s friends are worried for him as he’s “totally retreated into himself” while Miley continues to air details about their failed marriage.
As RadarOnline.com readers know, Liam shocked Miley and filed for divorce on August 21, just nine months after the two tied the knot in a Nashville ceremony last year. In the papers, he claimed the estranged couple signed a prenup.
