Bret Michaels experienced severe kidney pain after a recent show and was diagnosed with a complicated kidney stone requiring immediate surgery. Due to his post-operative condition and underlying health factors, including diabetes, he is restricted from performing for the next 3 to 4 weeks. His recovery is complicated by his Type 1 Diabetes, and he must refrain from all live performances until his condition is re-evaluated. Michaels expressed gratitude for the medical treatment and support from family, friends, and fans, and hopes to resume touring late August. Updates on rescheduled performances will be shared soon.
Bret Michaels has emergency surgery.
