Poison Frontman Suffers Brain Haemorrhage

Bret Michaels is in critical condition

Bret Michaels, frontman for hair metallers Poison, has suffered a brain haemorrhage and remains in critical condition.

Michaels was admitted to hospital last Thursday after complaining of severe headaches and, after the haemorrhage was diagnosed, his condition has been stabilised over the weekend.

A statement was issued on his Facebook page that said:

"At this point Bret remains in ICU in critical condition," the statement reads. "He is under 24 hour doctors care and supervision. We are hopeful that further tests will locate the source of the bleeding, which has still not been located. As we all know Bret is a fighter and we are hopeful that once all is complete the slurred speech, blurred vision and dizziness, etc. will be eliminated and all functions will return to normal."

The news of Bret’s latest illness comes less than two weeks after Michaels was struck down with appendicitis moments before he was due to go onstage in Texas.
