One-hit wonder Billy Ray Cyrus is going to be a one-named wonder!
The Achy Breaky Heart hunk is changing his name to plain old Cyrus.
“I always went by Cyrus, and I begged Mercury Records to call me Cyrus in the beginning
because that’s what I was comfortable with,” he says.
Now he’ll join Cher, Sting and Bono as a mono-monikered musician in August.
“I’m going to the hospital where I was born in Bellefonte, Ky., and legally changing my name,” the crooner adds.
