Poison Frontman Bret Michaels is thankful for his fans’ support while he’s in the hospital.
The Poison frontman Bret Michaels, who went to the hospital during a Nashville stop with the band, shared an update on Instagram Thursday, writing, “To the incredible fans in Nashville, thank you for all your well wishes!!”
He continued, “I was truly fired up to get on stage in the Music City and perform, but due to an unforeseen medical complication & following hospitalization, it was not possible. I send my deepest apologies for being unable to rock the stage tonight!!!”
In another update posted to Instagram on Friday, Michaels, 59, told fans to go to his website – which kept crashing due to “significant traffic” – to read his full statement.
Fans who were able to access the rocker’s site before it went down posted in the comment section what Michaels had written.
“There are not enough words of thanks & gratitude for the well wishes from family, friends & fans,” he began in the statement.
“Can’t thank enough Nashville’s incredible & determined medical staff who helped me as you can see with several IV sites to run tests & administer fluids. I’m determined to try to rock Jacksonville & return for a Nashville show someday soon.”
Poison frontman Bret Michaels was hospitalized on Thursday in Nashville just before Poison was set to take the stage for the Stadium Tour with Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
His bandmates took to the stage with the announcement, regrettably informing the audience they wouldn’t be able to perform, according to TMZ, which first reported the news.
