Billy Ray Cyrus, who said appearing on "Dancing With the Stars" was "the scariest thing I could possibly think of to do," has bid farewell to the ballroom.
The 45-year-old singer and actor was eliminated from the ABC dance-off Tuesday. He seemed to know his time was up before the results were announced.
"This is a celebration tonight," he said early in the show. "I got to meet my hero, Muhammad Ali, last night. I conquered my fear.
I'm happy to be here and I'm ready to go on Jimmy Kimmel."
Ali made a rare public appearance Monday, coming to "Dancing With the Stars" to watch his daughter, Laila Ali, perform the waltz and the jive.
Tuesday's results show also featured a performance by Grammy winner Nelly Furtado, who sang her breakthrough 2000 hit, "I'm Like a Bird" and her new single, "All Good Things.

The remaining celebrity dancers - Ian Ziering, Joey Fatone, Laila Ali and Apolo Anton Ohno - begin the competition's semifinal round Monday.
