Bret Michaels Has More Health Setbacks

According to various news sources, Bret Michaels is suffering from more health issues. He had kidney surgery a few weeks ago... and he's been hospitalized half a dozen times in the two week period following that surgery. Doctors had to put two stents into Bret's body.

Pete Evick, who is Bret's friend and also part of his solo band, wrote on Facebook:

"Over the last two weeks Bret was in and out of 6 hospitals throughout the Midwest. Including the incredible Mercy Hospital of Northwest Arkansas. The staff and doctors were unbelievable and took incredible care of Bret."

I'm not a medical expert, but it seems to me that Bret would be better off by taking a vacation to rest and actually heal from surgery instead of continuing to tour the country, singing Poison songs. The people going to Bret's solo shows are pretty much die-hard fans at this point anyway, so I think they'd understand if some shows got canceled.

Bret's being a Type I diabetic is no joke.
He needs to take some time to get better than he currently is.
Go home, recuperate, & go out with your real band,Poison, next summer.
Anyone that is still your fan will understand.

It's hard to tour when you're dead.

Great to hear Mercy of NW Arkansas took great care of him. Been there a few times myself. I hope he does recover and takes the time he needs to heal..Wish him the best.

He should retire or get back together with Poison and make more classic hard rock tunes. No need for honkytonk or more bluegrass covers! IF he's healthy enough, that is.

Hope he's okay. Dealing with somebody that has type 1 diabetes is no joke so I understand if he can't do it. Hope he can kick some ass with Poison for the next 5-15 years. I hope.

I'm with BK on this. Get well. Quit the Yeehaw sh*t. Record a new Poison album. Tour the world. Repeat.

I agree with 'oper8n' & 'Metalboy'
