Bret Michaels Recovers From Health Scare

On Thursday night, Bret Michaels fell ill during a show in New Hampshire and had to leave the stage during the act. The show ended and Bret was rushed to the hospital. Turns out he was sick from the flu and diabetes.

Via Facebook, Bret's PR team explained that the singer was "violently ill" after he left the stage. Doctors determined he was suffering from insulin shock and severe low blood sugar plus exhaustion/dehydration/fever and the novo flu virus.

Basically, Bret was trying to do a concert with the stomach bug. Just think back to the last time you had stomach bug. You probably couldn't leave the bathroom floor. I can't imagine Bret trying to jump around with that plus fighting a severe diabetes issue to boot. I wish him well.

When this story was unfolding Thursday night and I saw it on Twitter, I thought "Which news organization will call Bret the former Poison frontman first?" To the best of my knowledge, that award goes to the Associated Press. In every report, the AP incorrectly referred to Bret as Poison's former frontman and it just hacks me off. Probably irrational on my part, but still.
