Despite his brother Trace’s previous pleas for their father, Billy Ray Cyrus, to get help, the country singer’s other son, Briason, claimed that the country music singer has recovered following a hospital stint last year. In his Instagram Stories on Friday, Braison spoke out about the situation.

“I’ve spent the last year getting to know my dad better than I ever have,” he explained. “After he spent a week in the hospital in the fall, I’m grateful my dad is happy, healthy, and ready to make this record.”
Braison and Billy Ray also announced that they would collaborate on a new album, which Braison will produce.
“It’s a rare opportunity to make something this special and tell my dad’s story through music,” Braison pointed out. Can’t wait to finally share it.”
Trace took to Instagram days before to plea for Billy Ray to get help. He claimed that the country singer was not “healthy” and had offered to help with his alleged struggles.
The plea was made on Instagram following Billy Ray Cyrus’ less-than-stellar performance at the Liberty Ball of President Donald Trump’s Inauguration.
“It seems this world has beaten you down, and it’s become obvious to everyone but you,” Trace wrote in the Instagram post. You may be upset with me for posting this but I really could care less at this point.”
Trace also stated that he and “the girls,” seemingly referring to his sisters Brandi, Miley, and Noah, have been “genuinely worried” about their father for years. However, the country music legend has pushed them away.
“You’re not healthy, Dad,” Trace declared. “Everyone is noticing it. Just like I showed up for you at Mamaw’s funeral when you didn’t expect me to, I’m still here right now.”

Trace further stated that his life is ” perfect ” and that he lives “the life every man dreams of.”
“I’m the future of country music,” he added.
