Bret Michaels was rushed to the hospital late Thursday night after he complained about a painful headache. Doctors found a “massive subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding at the base of his brain stem).” His reps confirm the report but have no additional information until more tests are done.
Michaels, 47, is currently in critical condition. “After several CAT scans, MRIs and an angiogram, [doctors] decided to keep Michaels in the ICU and are running several tests to determine the cause. [It] will be touch and go for the next few days while he is under intense observation,” the source says.
Doctors credited the ridiculous bandanna Bret Michaels wears all the time for acting as sort of a compression wrap which prevented his brain from exploding just long enough to make it to the hospital.
