Why Miley Cyrus Got A Yoko Ono Inspired Tattoo

Miley Cyrus is an outspoken fan of Yoko Ono and her late husband, legendary Beatle, John Lennon. She even covered their hit song "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" alongside the couple's son, Sean Ono Lennon, in time for the 2018 holiday season (via E! News). During an appearance on The Tonight Show, the pop star gushed, "I've always loved John and Yoko. I'm such a big Yoko fan." While speaking on The Howard Stern Show, Cyrus revealed the handwritten note from Ono came after she lost her house in the Malibu wildfires, confirming Sean Lennon actually brought it to her while they were recording. "Those relationships have been so valuable to me," she acknowledged (via YouTube).

Cyrus described the note from Ono as "the coolest thing," particularly since it was handwritten. She shared that Stevie Nicks frequently sends handwritten letters too, alongside her legendary godmother Dolly Parton. "It's a different amount of time that someone takes, it's not like 'hey I'm just gonna shoot a text and let you know I'm thinking about you'...when you write things down and you give those words those kinds of power, they say 'we're rooting for you'," she explained. Likewise, her father, country icon Billy Ray Cyrus, got a handwritten note from his own idol, Johnny Cash, which read "I'm in your corner." The pop star got it tattooed on her skin too, describing the note as a cool parallel with Ono's.
