Bret Michaels

Bret Michaels is a singer, songwriter and actor that became a rock icon as the lead singer of the metal band Poison. Outside of his musical career, Bret has starred in a variety of reality TV shows including The Celebrity Apprentice and Rock of Love. Bret also hosted Great American Country's Rock My RV, a series that transforms RVs into 21st century mansions.

In the 1980s, Bret and three others founded the band Paris - later renamed Poison. In 1986, the band released its first album, Look What the Cat Dragged In. Ten of the band's singles have made it on the Top 40 of Billboard Hot 100, and they have sold over 45 million records worldwide.
After a long run with Poison, Bret began recording solo albums and starring in television shows. He currently lives in Arizona with his wife and two daughters.

Michaels was injured during his opening performance at the 63rd Tony Awards on June 7, 2009. As he was ending his performance with Poison and exiting to the stage rear, a large portion of the descending set struck him on the head and knocked him down. The initial injuries reported was a broken nose. However, the hemorrhage incident in 2010 prompted Michaels to file a lawsuit for unspecified damages against the Tony Awards and CBS claiming the incident caused the hemorrhage. On May 14, 2012, the parties announced that they had agreed to settle the lawsuit for an undisclosed amount.
