Miley Cyrus and Bret Michaels Rock Central Park for GMA's Summer Concert Series
June 18, 2010 — -- Teen pop queen Miley Cyrus and '80s rock icon Bret Michaels teamed up to take over New York's Central Park as part of "Good Morning America's" Summer Concert Series.
Cyrus wowed the crowd with the title track of her new album "Can't Be Tamed" and was then joined on stage by Michaels for "Every Rose Has Its Thorn."
"My first concert was [Michaels' former band] Poison," Cyrus said. "['Every Rose Has Its Thorn'] is my mom's favorite song. I did this song mostly for my mom."
Michaels called Cyrus' version "awesome" and said he was thrilled to perform it with her, even though he joked that "it was six octaves higher than I normally sing it."
Tune in to "GMA" on Sunday, June 27 to see Miley Cyrus perform "Robot."
The performance comes just days before the June 22 debut of Cyrus' latest album and is something of a comeback for Michaels, who only recently resumed touring following a brain hemorrhage in March that nearly killed the rocker.
"My way of healing is making music, is going back on the road," Michaels told Billboard this week.
Included in that music is a duet with Cyrus called "Nothing to Lose," which will appear on his upcoming solo album, "Custom Built."
But if playing music again is a second life for Michaels, this year also marks a rebirth of sorts for Cyrus.
This isn't the same Miley we met in 2006, when millions welcomed the teenager into their households with the Disney Channel hit "Hannah Montana." She has shed her perky, wholesome image in favor of a new, more mature look.
"There's something about this kind of pop rock sound that's so much fun to perform live," Cyrus said on "GMA."
The crowd at Central Park included many fans who showed up early in the morning for the live concert, and they were also treated to a performance of Miley Cyrus' hit song "Party in the U.S.A."
Michaels is returning to touring in advance of the release of his new album on July 6.
"I've been on tour for awhile now after I came out of the hospital," he said.
Cyrus will perform Monday at the House of Blues in Los Angeles.
