In ripped black trousers, cropped black David Bowie T-shirt and several necklaces, Cyrus looked pure rock chick as she performed solo material before being joined by the Poison front man
Unlikely partnership: Cyrus and Michaels sing Every Rose Has Its ThornThe one-off New York concert was part of a series of summer gigs put on by TV show Good Morning America.
The unlikely pair sang a version of Poison hit Every Rose Has its Thorn, which appeares on Cyrus' edgier new album Can’t Be Tamed.
'My first concert was a Poison concert,' she later revealed. ‘That was an interesting night. I was probably about eight and my mum dragged me and my brother.’
Contrast: Michaels and Cyrus look happy following their surprise duetCyrus is in the midst of a promotional tour for the record, the first of her albums which she claims is ‘completely me.’
'You have to be who you are to the full,' Cyrus said during an interview with the popular U.S. morning show.
'There's nothing that I'm holding back. And that's what I want to give to my girl fans. Just be who you are'
Michaels, who looked in good health after suffering a life threatening brain hemorrhage last month, said that he and the Cyrus family had been 'friends for a while.'
Montana no more: Miley Cyrus' new image is a far cry from her squeaky clean Disney past ‘She's a great musician and she's one of those people who will make that huge transition into remaining a superstar. She can rock it for sure,’ he said
With her Hannah Montana show coming to an end after one more season, Cyrus is set to film two new movies, one of which involves playing Demi Moore’s daughter in the comedy LOL.
‘It’s going to be good to be around somebody that I love and somebody I can look up to,' Cyrus said. 'She's so smart. She's had an amazing transformation so I think I can learn a lot from her.'
