Bret Michaels featured in new Nissan ad campaign

Bret Michaels and BobbleBret – a bobblehead version of the Poison singer – are featured in a new series of commercials for Nissan’s Tough Love campaign.

It’s the latest promotional tie-in for Michaels, who covered Lionel Richie’s 1981 US chart-topper with Diana Ross, “Endless Love”, in a viral video for Nissan last year.

Billed as “Tough Love”, the original ad campaign highlighted the durability and ruggedness of Nissan’s line of commercial vans.

The 2015 video series sees Michaels and BobbleBret in variety of scenes under the Tough Love banner.

Michaels is selling a limited edition run of BobbleBret dolls via his website.

The singer recently issued a video for his new single, “Girls On Bars”, the lead track from his newly- released album, "True Grit."

The project features guest appearances by Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Gary Rossington and Rickey Medlocke, Jimmy Buffett, Rascal Flatts and Loretta Lynn.

Michaels is currently on the road across the US playing dates on his True Grit tour.

Bret Michaels undergoes kidney surgery

Bret Michaels underwent kidney surgery this past week, reports his guitarist Pete Evick.

The guitarist shared the story with fans via Michaels’ social media sites on Monday, revealing that the Poison rocker has been in pain for a few weeks but pressed on, determine not to miss any shows if possible.

Micheals had two stents put in his body in an attempt to relieve the pain, but things came to a head in Knoxville, Tennessee.

“This time it went real bad,” writes Evick. “During the show he gave 100 percent, but he hurt himself. Jumping around with two stents was a bad idea. I can't explain the amount of blood or where it came from, but it was horrifying on his bus after the show. Bret looked at me and said, ‘Just head to Champaign, we have to make Thursday's show up.’"

“Over the last two weeks, Bret was in and out of 6 hospitals throughout the Midwest,” Evick continued. “Including the incredible Mercy Hospital of Northwest Arkansas. The staff and doctors were unbelievable and took incredible care of Bret. The fans and venues have been amazing and their support unprecedented. Bret continues to be steadfast in his dedication to bring the music to the people. He truly has to be held down to not perform.”

“While the last few weeks have been tragic, Bret continues to be an inspiration in his ability to push on,” he adds. “He's still not 100 percent, but there are no plans to postpone or reschedule any more shows this year. While he was in dire pain, he still played an amazing show to an enormous crowd in Vegas a few days ago. We will see you guys this weekend in Florida.”

Michaels is set to appear in Jacksonville, Florida on Thursday and at a March Of Dimes Bikers For Babies event in Fort Myers, Florida on Friday.

Michaels was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of six. The Poison singer has been a public advocate of maintaining good health throughout his career.

In recent years, Michaels has faced a number of serious health issues, including an emergency appendectomy, a brain hemorrhage and heart surgery.

PHOTOS: Poison reunite for private show and tease 2015 reunion

Poison reunited to play a private show in Southern California on October 18 and the band are sharing photos from the event while teasing a possible reunion next year.

Frontman Bret Michaels first shared photos from rehearsal (below), writing "Poison’s first rehearsal at a private event in So Cal. So far no fist fights, sounds great and feels great. Maybe a reunion in 2015…"

The day after the performance, Michaels posted more pictures (above) while adding, “What a great party last night and an awesome time playing with the band!

Last month, Michaels suggested Poison was on track to regroup next year, telling the Cleveland Scene, “It looks like it will happen. It’s been a few years – we just want to put together the right package and show to celebrate with everyone.”

Poison last toured in 2012 with Def Leppard as part of the Rock Of Ages trek.

The group’s last studio effort was 2007’s collection of covers, “Poison’d”, and their last original album was 2002’s “Hollyweird.”

Michaels currently has a full schedule of solo dates booked through December. His latest solo album, “Jammin’ With Friends,” was released last year.

Poison may reunite for 2015 tour

80s rockers Poison may regroup for a tour in 2015, according to frontman Bret Michaels.

“It looks like it will happen,” Michaels tells Cleveland Scene. “It’s been a few years — we just want to put together the right package and show to celebrate with everyone.”

Poison last toured in 2012 with Def Leppard as part of the Rock Of Ages trek.

Asked if he has a preference to touring solo or with the band, Michaels says, “The truth of the matter is I just love to play live. With Poison, you have come to expect exactly what you see — big pyro and this huge arena show, With the solo band, it’s a little more raw but just as big and it gives me the chance to explore more of my personal side and share certain elements that maybe don’t come across in Poison. But I love them both.”

The group’s last studio effort was 2007’s collection of covers, “Poison’d”, and their last original album was 2002’s “Hollyweird.”

So, could a reunion tour spark a new Poison album?

“When the time’s right, I’m sure it will happen,” says the singer. “We are all just in different places right now — But we are never done making music.”

Michaels currently has a full schedule of solo dates booked through December; his latest solo album, “Jammin’ With Friends”, was released last year.

Bret Michaels issues health update

Bret Michaels has posted an update on his health status following an issue that forced him to cut short a show in New Hampshire on May 29, resulting in emergency care and a hospital stay after being diagnosed with the noro flu virus.

“Apologies for the pale white face,” posted Michaels on Tuesday along with a photo (above). “It's the first day I've been able to fly to the kids. There is not enough thanks that I can send to the awesome fans, friends, family and medical staff for their help and well wishes. You all rock!”

Under doctor’s orders, Michaels cancelled shows in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and Albany, New York late last week while he remained in hospital.

The rocker dealt with complications involving insulin shock and severe low blood sugar, along with other conditions which doctors later determined included exhaustion/dehydration/fever and the noro flu virus (Norovirus).

Following his release from hospital, Michaels – through his Life Rocks Foundation – recently donated $10,000 to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Bret was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of six. The Poison singer has been a public advocate of maintaining good health throughout his career.

In recent years, Michaels has faced a number of serious health issues, including an emergency appendectomy, a brain hemorrhage and heart surgery.

Michaels is scheduled to return to the stage on June 13 in St. Louis, Missouri.

Bret Michaels health status update

Bret Michaels continues to recover from a health scare that forced him to cut short a show in New Hampshire on Thursday, resulting in emergency care and a hospital stay that resulted in the rocker being diagnosed with the noro flu virus.

Under doctor’s orders, Michaels cancelled a Friday concert appearance in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and now Pete Evick, guitarist for the Bret Michaels Band, has issued another update of Bret’s status.

“I'm sorry to announce that Bret will not be performing in Albany, NY today,” posted Evick early Saturday. “As I've stated before, I have stood with Bret for over 9 years and have been around the world with him. I was there when his appendix burst, was there through the brain hemorrhage and watched him re-learn to walk and talk, not to mention countless blood sugar scares, but nothing like this. The complication of this brutal flu virus and how it has affected his blood glucose levels has been awful to watch. The perfect cocktail of such a virus along with diabetes and a high temperature is to be taken very seriously.”

“Today even more so than yesterday, it took a team of doctors, friends and family to convince Bret to not return to the stage,” Evick continued. “He doesn't believe it's the right idea, but those close to him along with all of you I'm sure would rather have him miss one more day and then take the next few days to recover rather than to cause more problems by pushing himself right? From my point of view, most non-diabetics take a week off work when they contract a flu like this, so two days is still pretty crazy. I have no doubt he will be up and running at 100 percent soon. We will certainly be in St Louis next week at Jefferson Barracks Veterans Memorial Amphitheater to continue the party. Until then, thank you all for your well wishes and support. We've all made sure Bret's received them all and he is both thankful and grateful.”

Bret’s next scheduled show in June 13 in St. Louis, as Evick mentioned.

Michaels was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of six. The Poison singer has been a public advocate of maintaining good health throughout his career.

Bret Michaels health scare update

Bret Michaels’ team has issued an update on the singer’s health status following an incident onstage in New Hampshire on Thursday.

“As previously announced, Entertainer Bret Michaels was physically forced to leave the stage last night at the Palace Theater in Manchester, New Hampshire due to complications involving insulin shock & severe low blood sugar, along with other conditions which doctors later determined included exhaustion/dehydration/fever and the noro flu virus,” they revealed. “Michaels attempted to return to the stage to finish the show however it was clear to the band, crew, and audience that he would not be able to continue, as he walked of the stage and became violently ill.”

“Paramedics present at the show immediately responded and 911 was notified,” continued the update. “Unable to keep substance in his system, complications with his insulin levels and inability to balance his blood sugar levels arose. Michaels was rushed by ambulance to CMC (Catholic Medical Center), and monitored through the evening as doctors tried to bring his blood sugar back to healthy levels.”

“Under strict medical direction, Michaels will not be able to perform this evening in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania as doctors have ordered him to let the flu virus run its course and let his blood sugar rebalance and remain consistent,’ they concluded. “While hoping to perform tomorrow in Albany, type 1 diabetes complicates health issues such as the nora flu virus and must be monitored and taken very seriously.”

Pete Evick, guitarist for the Bret Michaels Band, broke the news from New Hampshire Thursday evening, writing “This is a message I never imagined I'd have to post. Tonight in Manchester, NH 3 songs into the set Bret had me sing a song as he rushed off stage. In the 9 years I've stood next to him, I've never seen a look like the one on his face as if I was a complete stranger. One of the crew returned instantly to notify me that Bret's blood sugar was extremely low.”

“He returned to the stage only to announce that he could not continue,” he added. “As you all know he is a health fanatic and fiercely monitors his blood sugar, he basically had to be dragged off the stage in his sickest of conditions. When I rushed to the bus he could barely speak, but begged me to apologize to the fans and seemed only concerned for them. As of now he is with paramedics being evaluated. We will keep you posted throughout the evening.”

Michaels was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of six. The Poison singer has been a public advocate of maintaining good health throughout his career.

In 2010, Michaels faced a number of serious health issues, including an emergency appendectomy, a brain hemorrhage and heart surgery.

hennemusic will update Bret’s condition as further news becomes available.

Poison singer Bret Michaels will host the all-new series "Rock My RV" on Travel Channel beginning in May.

Michaels, a hands-on enthusiast, has released a couple of video previews of the series, which sees him lead a team of skilled, custom RV designers and fabricators who transform travelers' ordinary RVs into the most outrageous, badass, hooked-up mobile mansions on the road.

“Between touring and traveling, I spend a lot of time on the road, and my tricked-out, custom coach is my home away from home," says Bret. "I crisscross the country and live in my tour bus, and I know how to take an RV from ordinary to extraordinary. I can't wait to put my expertise to use and show people how to make their RVs rock."

"For the past 25 years, Bret Michaels has spent at least 9 months out of the year in a tour bus that he personally designs from top to bottom," said Andy Singer, Travel Channel GM.
