Pharrell Williams defends "larger than life" Miley Cyrus

Pharrell Williams has backed Miley Cyrus.

The singer is often derided by many for being too lurid with her outlandish stage behaviour and props.

However, Williams - who collaborated with the US star on his recent solo album 'G I R L' - told Z100 that he will always have Cyrus's back.

He said: "[She] is my little sister and I ride forever for her. You’re just getting a slice of who she is, just a slice of her creativity. She is not in a box. The overarching theme to her personality is just big, and larger than life, and happy."

Speaking meanwhile about being reduced to tears on Oprah Winfrey's TV programme after being shown videos of global fans paying tribute to him, Williams said:

"When [Oprah’s] showing it to you and you’re seeing Poland, Africa, and you’re seeing France, all these countries it was a little too much for me. So you know, I wept."
