Miley Cyrus has finally spoken out regarding the cancellation of three shows on her Bangerz Tour. She told "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" today that an allergic reaction to cephalexin, a sinus medication, caused her to be hospitalized for nearly a week.
The "Wrecking Ball" singer, released from the hospital April 24, said that the antibiotic—brand name Keflex—was poisonous to her body.
"It was so scary," Cyrus told the KIIS FM program.
"I had basically been poisoning myself with something I didn't know I was really scary allergic to. It was insane."
She lamented that her hospital stay was "miserable," and described how badly she wanted to go back on tour.
"I was crying because I was so bored. I'm laying here hooked to all these machines. Every two hours, some woman comes in and pokes me with a needle, just miserable," she told Seacrest.
"I'm just laying here with nothing to do. I was begging the doctors, 'Let me out to go do the show!' It was basically no way."
The 21-year old also revealed the one restaurant whose food she could keep down.
"I wouldn't eat anything cause the medicine made me sick except Cracker Barrel," she explained.
"So all I did for five days was be on steroids, get myself better, and eat Cracker Barrel."
The pop star's first Bangerz cancellation was April 7 in Charlotte, North Carolina, when reps said she was suffering from flu-like symptoms. The news came just days after Cyrus' beloved dog, Floyd, passed away.
The singer also cancelled an April 15 show in Kansas City, Missouri, and an April 16 show in St. Louis.
Cyrus will resume her tour on May 2 in Amsterdam, and will also visit London, Dublin, Madrid, and other European cities next month and in June.
In August, Cyrus will come back to the states for shows in New York, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. She will also make up the cancelled shows in Charlotte, Kansas City, and St. Louis.
