"I was never her coach, ever. She was always mine. I learned more from her than anyone that I've ever gotten the honor to be in a room with, not just vocally ... but she taught me everything that I know about love." Freeman, who was on Miley's "Voice" team during season 13 of the NBC singing competition, died March 2 of complications from pneumonia and a blood clot. She was 33.The singer remembered Freeman in an emotional Instagram following her death."Janice you're my star!" Miley wrote. "I will never give up on you. Ever. I am no longer your coach, I never was ... YOU constantly taught me. You've been my coach on how to love, on how to persevere, on how to fight for what I want and never let even my own body get in the way. Anything is possible if it's being done with faith. You are my world. I will never forget you or stop loving you. I am forever yours." I miss you so much it hurts. Everywhere ..... but so did you. So often. So much pain and no one would ever notice because of the smile and joy you constantly radiated . I am trying my best today to celebrate your existence but I can't help but just deeply mourn over your absence . All those texts I would receive , just of you saying that your praying for ME. How you were so selfless I'll never understand . The way you found the good in everything . You are now a rainbow . Something beautiful that comes after something so gloomy. You were the only artist EVER, that I tried so hard to ' sign' , was going to create a label just so YOU could be on it. No one has heard them and I hope to share at an appropriate time, but the records you were creating with @brandicarlile (where it all began , the story ) and my dear writer friend @ilsey were so magically beautiful JUST LIKE YOU. Today we lost a legend . Do you hear me . Everyone got it so wrong on our season together of The Voice because no matter what has been recorded or remembered YOU won my angel . You are not only the best singer that show has ever had the honor of having on that stage but the best fucking singer in the world. What makes me sick is we always wait till the best are gone to recognize them and truly tell them what their art meant to us. The hope their voice gave us .... the emotions they pulled from us. Janice you're my star! I will never give up on you. Ever . I am no longer your coach , I never was ..... YOU constantly taught me. You've been my coach on how to love , on how to persevere , on how to fight for what I want and never let even my own body get in the way. Anything is possible if it's being done with faith. You are my world . I will never forget you or stop loving you. I am forever yours , Miley A post shared by Miley Cyrus (@mileycyrus) on Mar 4, 2019 at 7:37am PSTon Mar 4, 2019 at 7:37am PST Monday's memorial was streamed live on Facebook.
