Bret Michaels, 63, recently informed fans of his health status after dealing with a kidney stone issue. He shared the update on Facebook, revealing he underwent a procedure to remove a stone that wouldn’t pass naturally.
On July 22, Michaels expressed gratitude toward the frontline workers, doctors, and nurses who cared for him. He noted that the stone caused intense pain, yet he continued performing in Charleston, WV, Grantville, PA, and Spokane’s Fairchild AFB before being hospitalized.
Michaels updated his followers, claiming the operation was successful and he was recovering post-op. He emphasized his efforts to regain health and return to performing for his fans.
In a photo shared on Facebook, Michaels appeared in a hospital bed, humorously noting that he was eventually made to wear a hospital gown despite arriving straight from a concert.
His followers wished him well, writing supportive messages. One fan commented, “Can’t keep a good man down.”
Michaels had initially mentioned the kidney stone pain on Instagram. Despite his discomfort, he aimed to ensure a great experience for attendees.
Aside from his health update, Michaels has made headlines concerning his family. He mentioned supporting his 26-year-old daughter, Raine, in her decision to sell foot photos on FeetFinder. Michaels expressed approval of her choice.
He also shares another daughter, 21-year-old Jorja, with his partner, Kristi Lynn Gibson.
