MICHAELS SCRAPS SHOWS TO RECOVER FROM TONY AWARDS COLLISION

POISON rocker BRET MICHAELS cancelled two solo shows in California at the weekend so he could fully recover from a stage accident that left him with a fractured nose and split lip before.
The singer was hit by a stage prop while exiting the stage after an appearance at the Tony Awards in New York earlier this month (Jun09) - and still hasn't fully recovered from the collision.
A statement reads, "The trauma caused by the now infamous accident at the Tonys continues to take its toll on Mr. Michaels throat as well as other physical conditions.
"We at Michaels Entertainment Group want everyone to understand that through Bret’s 25-year career it has been extraordinarily rare and only under extreme conditions that Mr. Michaels has had to reschedule a performance.
"He has been shot at, had broken bones, severe lacerations and contusion, not to mention crucial high and low blood sugar levels due to his condition as a juvenile diabetic, yet (he) has always done his best to make his way to the stage."
The two shows will be rescheduled and Michaels insists shows as support to Def Leppard, which begin on Tuesday night (23Jun09) will go ahead as planned.
