Shortly before his death, the “Wrecking Ball” singer's plane was struck by lightning and they had to make an emergency landing while she and her screw were en route to the Asunciónico Music Festival in Paraguay, where the Foo Fighters had performed only a day before.

“We had to make this emergency landing and the first person I called was Taylor, because he was already at the festival,” Cyrus recalled. She and Hawkins had also worked together on their Billy Idol collaboration “Night Crawling” which was featured on her 2021 record “Plastic Hearts.”

“That would’ve been a time that I would’ve gone to see my friend, and I didn’t, so it makes me really sad,” she added.

“I would’ve done anything to hang out with him one more time,” she added. “I know that I get on stage, and anytime that I get to play with my band – which if anything ever f---ing happened to any of them it would f---ing kill me, so I couldn’t imagine how the Foo Fighters feel today.”
