Miley Cyrus is recovering after vocal cord surgery, Entertainment Tonight has confirmed.

A source told ET that following her hospitalization for tonsillitis last month, the "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" singer was made aware of another issue with her vocal cords. Cyrus, 26, was advised to have surgery before the year came to a close.

Surgery is now behind Cyrus and she is out of the hospital, the source says, but her recovery will take several weeks and she will have to keep quiet during this time. Obviously, new music is on hold until she is better, the source adds. People was first to report the news.

Last month, Cyrus took to Instagram Story to share photos of herself resting in bed after her tonsillitis diagnosis.
