Billy Ray Cyrus is “taking legal action” against him after he implored his father to “get help”.Earlier this week (January 22), the Metro Station guitarist, who is also the elder brother of Miley Cyrus and Noah Cyrus, took to Instagram to share an open letter to his father amid the fallout of his widely criticised performance at Trump’s inauguration.The country star had experienced a wave of technical hitches and was accused of lip-syncing at the Liberty Ball event, while some online viewers also questioned his current state.“Sadly, the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognise now,” Trace wrote. “It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you.”“You may be upset with me for posting this, but I really could care less at this point.

Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away.”Adding that he was “over a year and a half clean from alcohol,” he spoke directly to Billy Ray, saying: “I don’t know what you’re struggling with exactly, but I think I have a pretty good idea, and I’d love to help you if you would open up and receive the help.

You know how to reach me. Till that day comes I will continue to pray for you.”Now, Trace has provided an update on Instagram, in which he addresses his father and says his message was “beyond loving”.A post shared by Trace Cyrus (@tracecyrus)“I could have been extremely honest about a lot more but I don’t want to put your business out there like that,” he said. “But for you to threaten me with legal action for wanting you to get help is a disgrace.
