Bret Michael Sychak was born March 15, 1963 in Butler, Pennsylvania is best known as the lead vocalist of the glam metal band Poison. Besides his career as lead singer, he has several solo albums to his credit, as well as one chart single.
He has also starred in the VH1 reality show Rock of Love with Bret Michaels and its sequels, and as a judge on the talent show Nashville Star.
On June 7, 2009, Michaels suffered a fractured nose and cut lip at the Tony Awards show after performing Poison's song "Nothin' but a Good Time" with the cast of the musical "Rock of Ages." When Michaels turned to exit the stage, a descending piece of the set hit him in the head before he could duck under it, knocking him on his back.
Michaels' spokeswoman reported the following day the singer had x-rays and a CAT scan taken as precautionary measures.
Rock singer, Poison frontman, and reality TV star Bret Michaels brings The Rock of Love Tour Bus tour to Myrtle Beach House Of Blues (4640 Highway 17, 843-913-3740) on Wed. June 10.
Known best among younger fans for his featured role in the VH-1 reality series Rock of Love, in which some two dozen women compete for a date with the singer, Michaels will incorporate elements of the show into this month's tour. "I've got to be honest, it was really strange to have cameras around me,' the singer told City Paper contributor Alan Sculley.
"It felt very uncomfortable doing a lot of the stuff. What made me do it beyond season one — besides the fact that I get to meet some beautiful girls — was that also they didn't change it. They didn't say, 'Okay now Bret, we're going to do this, you're going to wear this, you're going to try this.' They didn't tell me who I was. They let me just be who I am."
I didn't hear about Michaels' unfortunate, Spinal Tap-esque brush with a stage prop at this week's televised Tony Awards show until Monday morning … he got plopped pretty well while Stockard Channing kicked into her number.
Showtime at the HoB is 8 p.m. Tickets are available for $76.50 and $32. See hob.com and bretmichaels.com for more.
