People.com has issued the following report about Poison vocalist Bret Michaels being hospitalized after suffering a brain hemorrhage:
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. Reps confirm this report is accurate, and tell PEOPLE, "We will have no additional information until further testing is done."
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.

Man that dude having a bad month for medical issues. My months been bad too. Lost my job on the first looks like my cars gonna get repo'd for late payment then the wife tells me today she wants a divorce. At least my music wont leave me. Hope you feel better bret. Always been a fan of the butt rock. I love all metal Im by far a hater. But BRYANT you can fu ck yourself. What a douce piece of sh**. You are a big lady hiding behind your screen. Kiss off biatch
I will start a firestorm with this one:
Pull the plug!
Sorry just hated him in the 80s with Poison, and still do with his fake reality shows. I, however, hope it is quick and Brett doesnt have to suffer more than he has already suffered. These things are very horrific for the person who is suffering from it.
Man i was watching t.v. and i was watching this show on gay people blowing each other and at that point i realized that all those time i was blowing other fags I was indeed to a fag. Man what a revalation and a relief to admit it. I am A FAG cake boy. I suck di ck. I like little boys. Mommy whats wrong with me and daddy please take your di ck out my azz please. I will swallow later. I don't deserve to live being so gay and retarded..
to wish someone ill just because you dont like his music is insane. theres a law under heaven - what you sow is what you'll reap - scoffers beware - payday comes to everyone - its inescapable ! you can joke around about someones music thats fine .....but not about someones life !!! i really hope bret pulls through.
I always thought that Poison were TOTALLY overated, and I´ve never been able to understand how they got so popular, but Bret seems like a pretty ok guy, So I wish him all the best.
I don´t wanna wish anybody any harm, even if I hate them.
Ok, that´s bullsh1t. I´m just trying to trick myself here; I wish it was Mustaine instead of Michaels
Like most of you, I'm not a fan of Poison either, but I hope he gets better. As much of a douchebag as Bret Michaels is, I'm sure that's a terrible thing to go through, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
travlow1: Man, I know how you feel. My last few months of 2009 were like that, but don't worry, things will get better. On the bright side, my wife came back to me.. :/ I'm really not so great with words, lol, but things will look up, it might just take some time.
Anyone honestly wishing harm on him is a f***ing p***y, tool, poser and overall piece of sh**.
If any of you actually had the balls to say it to his face (which you don't) instead of over your virgin a$$ keyboards he would kick the sh** out of you.
I never get sick of kids who wish harm on someone because they don't like their music. Go look up porn in your bedroom.
ElHeffe: Try to calm yourself and accept this as fact: branded is no kid and regardless of if you choose to accept it or not, his prediction in post #39 is spot on. If you're going to sport a screen name like ElHeffe, at least try to be origional. Neil and the rest of Clutch would greatly appriciate it. Otherwise they'll come to "take you away".
Branded: Who gives a f*** what someone else thinks/says on freaken TV. You obviously spend too much time caring about what the media feeds you. Go make something with your life instead of caring about someone elses. Poser.
Blindgreed: The Clutch song actually uses the spelling "Jefe", not "Hefe". Points for trying to be cool though, you really got me with your blazing wit.
ElHefe: I am well aware of the spelling differences, and since you know the difference it thereby confirms your knowledge of the group and the song. Again, if your going to use that screen name do it justice ya twink. I am not a member of your little circle jerk club so I do not accept your point system. Furthermore, if you want to discuss blazing wit, you'll have to explain to me why you think branded is a "poser" while you are defending Bret in the same breath (truely laughable) Additionally, where I come from... Only "posers" use the word "poser". Quit making assumptions about things and people you know nothing about. I makes you look childish and ignorant. If you have a point, make it, otherwise STFU and GTFO.
Honestly, I'm not much of a Bret Michaels fan. I grew up in the 80's and wasn't a Poison fan - but my girl gets a big kick out of his VH1 show (she thinks some of the chics are way hot - I agree).
I'm not worked up over him - I just get worked up over stupid f***s in general who say dumb sh**, about dumb sh**. Another nice zing by the way - "You have confirmed you know who Clutch is! OHHH SNAP!"
Let's hope someone dies because they have a show on VH1 and bang lots of chics. Oh woe-is-f***ing-me. You sound like a white trash hillbilly.
"OHHH SNAP" = Epic fail #1 (unless of course you are a flamboyant homosexual). Trying to convince people that you only watch Bret's show becuase your girlfriend thinks the "chicks are way hot" = Epic fail #2 (unless you are a flamboyant homosexual). Calling branded a white trash hillbilly while you enjoy "Thrash and Classic rock" = Epic fail #3 (unless you are a flamboyant homosexual). Begs the question... Are you a flamboyant homosexual by chance?
goddamn...rough deal for that poor dude
ya n'head, exactly....the guy is only guilty of making a career out of being a cheesed!ck and singing sh!t tunes, but as far as we know he's not a fvcking terrorist, or a goddamned rapist, child abuser, serial killer etc...no?
all such scum DO deserve a horrific and painful trip to the inferno....
i don't figure ol bret michaels is one of them
Yea I dont' care if you like the guy or not, but man when it all comes down to it, something like this that could kill a person, let alone they sit there and suffer, it's not right to sit there and say Die or I hope He dies, man it's his life quit bashing him for his music it's not about that right now, when or if he pulls through then you could continue the bashing im down with that.
First and foremost , the words HAIR and METAL to describe a genre of music are an OXYMORON. So it is with all due respect to the staff at metal underground that I strongly question why we are all being subjected to health updates concerning someone who is about as far from being underground Shakira is!
Secondly , as much as I personally despise the whole scene that Michaels comes from , I think those who scream for his death have , in all probability , NEVER seen someone die from a brain related illness - I HAVE and you can trust me when I tell you that he doesn't deserve it - especially not when you consider the fact that if you hate his " Music " you can always turn an old poison disc into a frisbee instead of listening to it.
Lastly , believe it or not , people CAN change. What if he came out of it and decided to do something more profound with his life and career ? Anyone who thinks this can't happen should watch the old horror TV series AMERICAN GOTHIC; Shaun Cassidy ( former top 40 teen idol puke ) collaborated with Sam Raimi to create that series. Whose to say that a certain someone else couldn't put the hairspray and bimbos down and do something cool like that ?

Unlike my post , that was concise and just as 100% true. Even if the majority of us liked his music , what are we to a Brett Michaels other than something that's measured in UNITS SOLD and NETWORK RATINGS.

HAHAHA. THAT was funny!
Was wondering why this thread had grown....i knew it would nt be a rash of sympathy from the mu/cyber peeps...damn....
VPNH LOL, so should i make jack kevorkian US attorney general then?.."pull the phocking plug"....awesome
Hefe, while your sympathy for BM is the right call, i wouldnt let BG or BDED get to you...bg finds cyber debates theraputic and BDED says these kind of things to stir things up...i wouldnt let it get to you...theyre cool guys, you just gotta get use to them and their takes and what theyre all about...i did the same thing as you did when i first came on here with 420....its just knowing there handle so to speak....theyll eventually grow on you like a fungus and after that its all good....just advice.....good luck...
GO PENGUINS
I'd have to say that while I am still a bit perplexed by so many in this thread being absorbed by enmity and petty attacks on someone they don't know , I think that the outpouring of sympathy from some of you is even more puzzling. BM cares about as much about any of us personally as the Pope or the king of Jordan would. I hate to sound condescending , but I think a lot of people who offer up such shallow concerns for the health of a celebrity have never really experienced a real tragedy like that in their own lives.
Frankly , I fail to see why I should care about BM one way or another. Find the vermin that murdered my friend/neighbor that local law enFARCEment can't seem to locate and maybe I will find the time to shed a tear for dear ol' Brett - maybe...
Sure hope he is able to overcome this, recover, and perform again. I have never been a fan of his or really cared for his music at all to be honest, but i would really like to see him perform in front of 20,000 again. That would be great

Hi,
Hope u get better Brett.
I didn't understand why some of you wants a bad end for him. You talk about reallity shows? I'm from Portugal, I just know that he's the Poison lead vocals. I love black metal, and I can enjoy Poison and him as a musician. Rock & Roll is like the father of Metal... like Abbath said someday, "this is all rock & roll to me".
Hail Music, Hail metal
post 89, yes he did reality shows and he sucked donkey a$$ during his times on the different shows. he is losing his hair and he hides it with his hats and bandana. SCARED OF BEING BALD HE IS!! so, he tries to act all secret about it, yet we all know what the truth about it is. Do some research and learn the real Brett is a fake ass!!!!
