Get well soon Bret!
Rocker and reality TV star Bret Michaels is recovering from a brain hemorrhage he suffered last week and could resume his concert tour next month, according to a statement on his website.
Michaels, 47, suffered a massive brain hemorrhage and was hospitalized last Friday.
In a statement, his manager Janna Elias said, "Doctors remain hopeful for a full recovery and plan to release more specific information next Monday," CNN reported today on its website.
The statement from Elias said that Michaels, who was the frontman for the rock band Poison, suffered a side effect from the brain hemorrhage called "hyponatremia" caused by a "lack of sodium in the body which leads to seizures."
"He is responding well to tests and treatments," she added.
Elias said Michaels' tour could resume as early as May 26 in Fort Smith, Ark., "provided there are no further complications or setbacks."
The possibility Michaels could return to performing next month comes just six days after what has been described as a near-fatal attack.
"Doctors state Michaels is very lucky as his condition could have been fatal," Elias said.
His manager and publicist have been careful not to disclose the hospital or even the city where the singer is being treated. They have said the location has been kept secret for security reasons.
While Michaels is starring in the current edition of NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" -- which was taped last fall -- and he's also slated to appear on "Fantasy Camp," a new series premiering July 9 on VH1.
Michaels was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 6. He had an emergency appendectomy April 12 after complaining of stomach pains before he was scheduled to perform in San Antonio.

Bret Michaels is fooling about as many people as Axel Rose is with that hair piece/bandanna combo. I have a bunch of people wearing hair pieces on my blog http://thisdayinbaldhistory.com
ReplyDeleteMy favorite bald celebrity in denial is Nicholas Cage. With every movie of his that comes out is another improbably hair piece. Who makes those things?
Cage is a person who does not belong on the screen, hair or not. Looks as though Bret has gone the way of Leif Garrett, former boy superstar, now a broken, long-forgotten baldy.
ReplyDeleteWasn't being fair to Leif, who was an under-rated singer/musician and a kid with great looks. Bret has always been a fraud--a propped up Iron Weasel type.
