Bret Michaels Didn’t Tell His Doc About Appearance on American Idol May 28, 2010 – Didn’t Bret Michaels look healthy on American Idol on Wednesday night? There is a chance he wasn’t. After three serious health scares he appeared on American Idol against doctors orders or at least he didn’t tell his doc. Michaels says, “The doctors, I didn't tell them I was going to do this. I never told them I was coming here. They're going to find out in a few minutes! To be honest, there's still obviously a lot of pain I’m still experiencing … [but] I feel great. Here’s the thing. They have not said everything’s OK. I’m running about 75 percent realistically, physically, but in my soul and my heart, I feel great. I needed to do this tonight, just to come here. It’s my first musical performance back and after this, I’m hoping to go out on the road, and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m going to see how that goes and just take it a few shows at a time. Later on, I may collapse, but right now, I feel great. I got on stage, first of all, the fans and friends and family were all here. It was such an awesome feeling to see everyone screaming and cheering and singing along with the song. I was like, 'Hey, that’s three generations out there, that’s all I’ve wanted to do is have a great music career and to be able to do that, 20-some years later, that’s a great feeling. This was good for my soul." – by John Beaudin Poison Ready to Tour with Def Leppard Jan. 21, 2009 – Do Def Leppard fans like Poison? Bret Michaels hopes so. The Poison frontman says his band is trying to work a deal with Def Leppard to go on the road. He told CNN, "I've got a huge announcement, which actually just happened this morning. Def Leppard and Poison are gonna go out on the road this summer. And the reason that's exciting for me. I know it will be the rock tour this summer.” "Poison and Def Leppard, with all those big hits, being out there, we put out a great show, we've got a huge fanbase, but the one thing the fans get, we always keep the ticket prices down and deliver an absolutely awesome, kick-ass rock show. And I look forward to it, because I'm still a fan of music — I'm very passionate about the music I make — and when you can be out on the road with people you like — I've been able to go out with Aerosmith, Kiss, Skynyrd — and to be out with Def Leppard and Poison this summer, I think that it's gonna be the tour of the summer." – by Kari Graham         Randy Meisner Former Eagles member Randy Meisner tells the truth about his old band //See more Let us Make Sure Everyone Who Visits this Site Knows Who You Are! - Advertise with us.
