Pop star Miley Cyrus recently shared a frightening health scare that sent her to the intensive care unit (ICU) last November. The incident happened while she was filming her visual album Something Beautiful and involved a serious leg infection that caused the tissue around her kneecap to “break down,” according to Cyrus herself.
The infection started because of an unusual choice of location for the filming. Wanting real footage for the “Walk of Fame” part of her visual album, Cyrus decided to film on the actual Hollywood Walk of Fame at night to avoid paying for permits and dealing with crowds. But this decision led to unexpected problems. While filming, Cyrus rolled around on the ground without realizing she was exposing herself to dangerous bacteria.
