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!
Ok, this one is more of an obvious one. First, because in a Blender magazine article he all but admits it. Second, these rumors have been swirling for years. Third, what is up with all the bandanas he wears? We will leave no celebrity baldie untouched, even Bret Michaels.
Finding success in the 80's as the frontman for Poison, Bret now has a celebreality show on VH1 called Rock of Love, where trampy women vie for his "love."
Now let's examine the evidence:
1) Article from Blender Magazine
Q: You’ve admitted that you wear “the finest [hair] extensions Europe has to offer.” Isn’t that a fancy way of saying you wear a wig?
WALLBANGER1000, AUSTIN, TX
A: No. I have hair, but it’s not as long as I’d like it to be. I have baby-fine hair, slightly receding in the front, but not bald. Actually, they’re not called extensions anymore–they’re “individuals.” They tie in to each of your hairs. If it ever comes to a point where I need to do something about it–meaning get hair plugs–I will.

2) Clip from Rock of Love found at Jezebel: http://jezebel.com/5134373/mocking-bret-michaels-hair-neither-turns-him-on-nor-rocks-his-world
Skip to the middle of the clip (the first part is all about how Melissa thinks her breast implant is leaking, but then this leads to her calling someone from home and sharing that she thinks its lame that Bret has hair extensions.
3) It is rumored Bret will finally come out and discuss this in his upcoming biography.
