Bret Michaels Didn’t Tell Doctors About American Idol Appearance

I was thrilled to see Bret Michaels on the American Idol finale but he needs a stern talking to when it comes to his priorities. The rock singer who has had three back to back health scares apparently performed on the reality show without consulting his doctors and family. He said “The doctors, I didn’t tell them I was going to do this… To be honest, there’s still obviously a lot of pain I’m still experiencing … [but] I feel great… 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… 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.”
