Bret Michaels — On How He Got Hospitalized
On June 30, the 59-year-old “Poison” singer Bret Michaels was scheduled to perform his song “Poison” in Nissan Stadium, Nashville which is part of his band’s current tour with Def Leppard, Joan Jett, and Motley Crue, per TMZ but, unfortunately, he was admitted to the hospital in Nashville on the day of his performance. Bret is been hospitalized for an unconfirmed medical scare.
The fans were all ready to watch Bret perform Poison when the news that unfortunately, they won’t be seeing Bret was brought to them by one of the band members. According to TMZ sources, the hospitalization may be due to a “bad reaction to medication that is related to COVID.” The reaction may have been triggered by Bret’s diabetes.
Bret’s health scare came just five days after he alerted his fans that he wasn’t feeling well during his set in Philadelphia. “My apologies Philly – I had my sugar go low during the set,” he said with a photo of his blood glucose meter. “I gave all I had in the tank, as I was feeling hypoglycemic. I hope you enjoyed.”
Bret Michaels — This Isn’t Bret’s First Hospitalization
Bret is a popular face in the hospital section, it’s not news that Bret frequents different hospitals for one health issue or the other. In 2010, Bret had an emergency appendectomy which was followed by a brain hemorrhage. “For the most part, I’ve gotten most of my function back. There are some definite brain issues and some definite hand and leg issues, but I’ve worked through them with therapy,” he told HollywoodLife about his recovery 10 years after he received brain surgery.
In 2011, Bret underwent surgery to repair a hole in his heart and was immediately looking forward to performing for his fans. “I am pumped to get back on the road and start rocking out on stage for all my awesome fans,” he told People. “Bret Michaels is bouncing back slowly but surely to good health,” his representative also told the publication. “After taking time to rest and recuperate from his recent heart procedure, he’s already getting back into his active lifestyle by working out and running on the treadmill.”
Again, in 2014, Bret was hospitalized six good times in the space of just two weeks, and he had two stents inserted into his body during that time. It was his guitarist and close friend Pete Evick who revealed the news on Bret’s website and Facebook, per ABC News. “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 post read. “The staff and doctors were unbelievable and took incredible care of Bret. Bret continues to be steadfast in his dedication to bring the music to the people. He truly has to be held down to not perform.” The medical issues began after Bret refused to give his body time to heal and instead got back to performing right away, against doctors’ orders.
