Shows Canceled: Bret Michaels Recovers From Emergency Surgery
April 16th, 2010 - 11:26 pm ICT by Angela Kaye Mason
Apr 16 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Bret Michaels is currently recovering from emergency surgery at a diabetic private care facility.Michaels was scheduled to perform on Sunday night in San Antonio, TX, but after experiencing very serious stomach pains all day, he was urged by the doctors at Sea World to go to the hospital. He was rushed to an undisclosed medical private care facility which specializes in the rehabilitation of diabetics. It was discovered by doctors at the medical facility that he was suffering from acute appendicitis, and he was rushed into surgery at 1am.
The surgery went very well, according to the doctors, and they are very optimistic that Michaels will make a complete recovery. Since he was absolutely exhausted from his touring schedule, which is very rigorous, and also had diabetes, the surgery took quite a toll on him. This type of surgery is said to be very hard on people who do not have diabetes, and the recovery can take quite a good bit of time. Brett Michaels was considered to be in otherwise very good health for a 47 year old with diabetes. The main order of business right now is being sure he gets proper rest, and is able to keep his blood sugar levels in a good place while recovering.
Quoted from his website is the following “Thank you all for your well wishes. And, as always, thanks for your support! For those of you who have inquired about sending get well cards, flowers or gifts we ask that you instead call your local radio and request Bret’s current single “Nothing to Lose.”
Although Brett is known to perform even in the most extreme circumstances, he was forced to cancel the following shows:
April 15 at Neumeier’s Rib Room in Fort Smith, AR
April 16 at The Lucky Star Casino in Clinton, OK
April 17 at State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, TX
April 21 at Sweet Carolines in Winchester, VA
April 23 at Neumeiers Rib Room in Ft. Smith, AR
April 24 at Belterra Resort and Casino in Florence, IN
It was also noted that all tickets will be honored for the rescheduled show dates. Fans are urged to keep checking back at the site for information on rescheduling as well as any other possible postponed shows.
