Pictures: Miley Cyrus' raunchy performance of We Can’t Stop

Singer Miley Cyrus, who was suffering from a bout of laryngitis and a neck injury, is finally back to good health and has already gone busy with the promotion of her new single 'We Can't Stop', which was put on hold due to her illness. As a part of its publicity, the 20-year-old singer displayed a raunchy performance on US TV show Jimmy Kimmel Live! Forgetting her Disney past, she grinded and groped with the female dancers.

For this outdoor show, Miley Cyrus sported an eye-popping outfit that ensured her 'abs like slabs' were on full display. Wearing above-the-knee heeled boots with a pair of black pants and a cropped white top, the Hannah Montana star showed her sultry moves in the live performance for the late night show in Hollywood. She got up close and personal with her back-up dancers as she sang her latest single 'We Can't Stop'.

Miley Cyrus showed off her killer physique as she paraded around on stage, grinded and groped with her back-up dancers, pushing her raunchy new image to the max. She spanked the bum of one of the dancers and also got steamy with another dancer, holding her close and touching her tummy as the girl grabbed Miley's thigh.

The singer was joined by will.i.am and the pair cosied up on stage as they performed his song 'Fall Down'. Besides all these raunchy acts, the singer sat down with Kimmel and talked about her pal Snoop. Talking about the rapper, she said, "He comes by the studio, he listens to my music and he's excited about what I'm doing with my career so it's cool."
