“I have Covid now but it was definitely worth it… I am feeling fine so don’t worry about me!”
She said the positive test meant she could no longer attend a charity event for the organisation Janie’s Fund, and apologised to its founder Steven Tyler.
Covid was not the only danger Cyrus faced on tour, previously revealing her plane had been struck by lightning on the way to the Asuncionico festival in Paraguay.
The aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing and the festival was later cancelled due to extreme weather conditions.
She was also due to feature on the bill at the Estereo Picnic festival, alongside the Foo Fighters.
Following the death of Taylor Hawkins, she dedicated her show to the drummer and shared memories of him on social media.
