Bret Michaels's health has taken a turn for the worse, PEOPLE has learned: After an excruciating headache late Thursday night, the star was rushed to an undisclosed hospital where doctors discovered he suffered a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding at the base of his brain stem), according to a source close to the situation.

Michaels, 47, is currently in critical condition. "After several CAT scans, MRIs and an angiogram, [doctors] decided to keep Michaels in the ICU and are running several tests to determine the cause. [It] will be touch and go for the next few days while he is under intense observation," the source says.

The rocker's latest hospital visit follows his emergency appendectomy in San Antonio, Texas, on April 12. There is no word yet whether this new development is related to the rocker's recent appendectomy or to his diabetes.

After his appendectomy, Michaels remained in the hospital under his doctors' care – then transferred to a rehab facility specializing in diabetic patients.

As he was recovering, Michaels – who was still in the running to win this season of NBC's Celebrity Apprentice – seemed to be in good spirits and updated fans on his progress.

"They told me that if I had gone on stage like I wanted to, [my appendix] likely would have ruptured and I could have died," he wrote in a note to his fans. "There is just no way around the fact that getting your appendix out HURTS. I have a pretty good threshold for pain, but this one hurts." Next

The rocker?

What the fuck?

These news people never get any facts right. Bunch of retards.

Cheers! :bottle:

[ThrillsNSpills]

You know he's from Butler right?

Did this stem(no pun intended) from the fact that's he's a type 1 diabetic?

It must be difficult to monitor all your levels if you going through the surgery process.

[Diamondjimi]

Could be all the cheese that runs through his veins formed a huge nugget at the base of his tiny brain...

Another clown who no longer gets press on his musical merits, yet still remains an attention whore.

Maybe he'll take this as a warning to slow down, buy a ranch in Wyoming and fade into obscurity...

Get well soon Douchebag!

[Diamondjimi]

You know he's from Butler right?

Are you implying Bret Michaels is the one and only Joe Thudner?

[Satan]

It may not be directly related to his appendectomy, but I'm willing to bet that it had EVERYTHING to do with drugs prescribed after his appendectomy.

Hate the guy's music, but I'd hate to see him come to Hell under these circumstances.

[PETE'S BROTHER]

we have a buddy at work who had acl recon surg as well as torn miniscus repair a week ago. two days later diag'd with a small blood clot. they chose an aspirin regimine to thin the blood. they did ultrasound yesterday, doc calls this mornin' and they admit him this afternoon, he calls and says he is in a borderline fatal situation. crazy, scary shit.

[chefcraig]

Considering the staggering amount of STDs he's received from the various sluts, gold diggers and clearly unbalanced nutcases on his Rock of Love show, I'm amazed the guy has lived this long.

[LoungeMachine]

Ya know, not for nuthin' but........

I'm all for laughing and joking at people we despise's expense, but when it comes to the MORTALITY of someone, it can go too far in my opinion.

Especially when we're talking about a father, a musician, a human being. REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE THINK OF THEIR MUSIC.



Brett Michaels, Sammy Hagar, GW Bush, hell even ButtFag for that matter....I wouldnt wish death on any of them. Regardless of their sins against man or music.

That and the 20 year addiction to, wig glue..mixing chemicles is bad m'kay.

but I should also post what Lounge wrote..best wishes.

[sadaist]

I hope he makes it through ok. I like the guy just for the fact that I love to hate him. He is such a tool. It is so fun to make him the butt of so many jokes. I'm not ready to give that up.

Plus, it's fun to see how whorish women can really be. Brett can really bring in out in them.

Agreed and well said. However, I still don't think disgrACE should be allowed to post here or on any site for that matter with all of his victimized, lying bullshit.

I can think of another (whose name isn't worth mentioning) that tends to belittle the issue of a person's well being or death as well. If anyone is to be banned for such a thing, then he deserves to be first on the list.

Yes and yes.

[fryingdutchman]

Always hated POISON myself, and certainly not a Bret Michaels fan...but I do hope he gets well soon.

Love him or hate him...he has found a way (albeit an extremely annoying, degrading way) to keep himself on the "B" and "C" lists...

I agree. Hope he gets through this ok.

Bret Michaels -- Stabilized

Originally posted Apr 23rd 2010 5:15 PM PDT by TMZ Staff

Bret Michaels is awake, in good spirits and talking ... TMZ has learned.

Ambre Lake, the Season 2 winner of "Rock of Love," tells TMZ she's spoken with people who are close to Bret who say he's stabilized and conscious.

Lake's tale matches another contestant who has also spoken with Bret's bandmates.

We're told the next 24 to 48 hours are critical -- Bret will be closely monitored.

[Seshmeister]

It would be devastating if this illness somehow affected his amazing hair.

[Dan]

All The Best To Him.

[Diamondjimi]

People shooting at his bus a couple of years ago, brain hemorrhage... Time to retire, Wigboy....

[Seshmeister]

All The Best To Him.

Indeed he's given me some fun over the years.

The first Poison album when it came out kind of worked as almost a party punk album, their problem came when they tried and failed to raise their game after it like the Sex Pistols trying to do a Rush cover.

Plus he gave me one of the only moments I've ever almost fallen out of my seat laughing in the cinema...

I hope Brett gets well soon. Not a huge fan of his work, but it brings back memories nevertheless. Wish him all the best...

Dude, I agree with everything you've said, but what the fuck?

No one here has, or will, - well, apart from the usual suspects, but everyone has come to expect that of them - wish death on Bref Michaels. We DO make fun of the guy & always will, but I don't think anyone in this thread has wished harm upon him.

Should we stop making fun of him because he's in critical condition? Should we eventually start to respect him after his death, may it be a VERY long time from now? That would make us hypocrites. Let's continue with the Bref bashing. May he live long. Hell, the longer he lives, the lower he'll stoop. That alone is good reason.

Let's poke fun at the guys in Cinderella too.

Cheers! :bottle:

Well played, tardbrain.

Bref Michaels in Main. Not only that, it's a fuckin' DUPE!

Is it really that hard to READ the fuckin' forums?

Cheers! :bottle:

[Anonymous]

Oh, so you SAW the other thread & decided you should enlighten the rest of the site by purposely starting a dupe thread?

There are no words for your lack of usefulness or intelligence.

What a fuckin' retard, dear Lard...

Cheers! :bottle:

[Dan]

Fucking Sheep.

[Diamondjimi]

deero the queer-o + this thread= FAIL!

Kill this stupid non-Dave, Daveposer thread to the DUMP

[Anonymous]

Shut the fuck up, Queero.

Go play with Bref's balls.

Am a bit surprised you'd want him in Hell under ANY circumstances, My Dark Lord of the Night...

Fuck, was half-looking forward to ending up down there someday to sit at the side of my unholy father, but if worthless tosspots like Brett Michaels are gonna be running around the place, maybe I'll have to look into this atheism thing more carefully.

On a strictly human level, it is a shame that (in spite of everyone being born to die) Brett Michaels is suffering. The worst thing the guy has done is make shitty hair metal music. Hardly anything deserving of someone else wanting to see the guy in pain.

However, the fact that he is sick doesn't somehow elevate his...er...um..."lifetime artistic output" up to a higher plane or make it into something it previously wasn't. He may well be a nice enough guy, but even on the simple level of a 'rock star' the guy has always been little more than a lame Roth-wannabe poser. Wandering from one cheesy reality show to the next with his abysmal series of face lifts and those retarded bandanas on his head in an attempt to stay relevant. He's basically an insult to the best rock music has to offer, and while I wish him a complete and speedy recovery, I (like many others on this site) wouldn't for a moment lament him just going the fuck away and taking his lame, corporatized version of a "rock and roll bad boy" image with him.

Gaywads like Posion are what slowly killed off mainstream American hard rock.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Moving, merging, etc, etc.,etc....

[Sensible Shoes]

I have a soft spot for Bret. That stupid Rock of Love show has given me hours of belly laughs at the ridiculousness of it all. Unabashadly staged with the biggest cast of fucked up women who make the Bachelorettes look like debutantes by comparison. Every season Bret walks off with some horrible skank - and next season he's back looking for another - guess the first one ran off with Vince Neil or something.

Get well soon Bret, And take the bandanna off for this one - it can't be helping the pressure in your brain.

Well said.

Saw him(Poison) last year with Cheap Trick and Def Leppard. I actually thought he put on a good show....fuck it...I don't mind saying that. Get well, Bret!

[jero]

And he fucked Pamela when she was smoking hot! That deservers some respect!

[Seshmeister]

Just heard Bret Michaels is in critical condition in an ICU with a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
That's a bleed beween the first and second membranes that cover the brain. I know Dave wishes him well
and so we all do too. Poison opened for Dave on his first solo trek and in retrospect it is easy to see the
influences each had on the other. Get well Bret!

Out of vague interest could you outline exactly how Michaels influenced Roth.

[Nitro Express]

Considering the staggering amount of STDs he's received from the various sluts, gold diggers and clearly unbalanced nutcases on his Rock of Love show, I'm amazed the guy has lived this long.

No kidding. I'm suprised one of them hasn't cut his cock off yet let alone kill him.

[NATEDOG001976]

I'm not really a Poison fan, but when I saw them at a concert festival, they were not bad. Hope he's ok.

[Diamondjimi]

Maybe it all stems from this "incident"....
