In a post on her official website, Miley Cyrus reflects on her decision to cover Posion’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and her collaboration with Brett Michaels:

“Every Rose is a classic and one of my favorites. Bret Michaels and Poison was my very first concert and introduced me to rock and roll.

I recently heard the song play and everyone around me starting singing along. Its a song that everyone knows and loves. I feel like the way the music industry is today really shelters kids and they aren’t exposed to songs as honest and real as this one.

Bret and I had a great time in the studio together just hanging out and making music. It was so surreal to have him sit down with his acoustic guitar and walk me through ‘Every Rose’ and then give me the opportunity to add my own flare and edge to it. Bret is so passionate about music and it shows.

I think it is such a rad collaboration because it shows that two artists that seem so different on the outside can come together and organically create something that we are both proud of. I look forward to finishing the song in LA with Bret and John Shanks who is producing.”

Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus has been mingling with 80s rock singer Brett Michaels of Poison in the recording studio while she remakes the old Poison hit, “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn”.   Michaels will apparently duet with Cyrus on vocals and acoustic guitar.

” ‘Every Rose’ is one of her all-time favorite songs and she is really excited about cutting it,” Miley’s mom Tish Cyrus recently told People Magazine.

How excited are you to hear it?
