Dates for Bret Michaels' rescheduled concerts will be posted on his Web
site within a few days
After trying to ignore severe stomach pains Sunday night, rocker Bret
Michaels was forced to miss his show in San Antonio, Texas.
Though he believed he only had a bad flu, doctors diagnosed the Poison
frontman with acute appendicitis and rushed him into emergency surgery
at 1 a.m. Monday morning, UsMagazine.com reports.
According to Michaels' rep, the rocker "remains in the hospital, is
doing well and beginning the recovery process."
"Michaels, who has been known to perform under extreme conditions that
would make most performers cancel, will unfortunately have no choice but
to reschedule some of his April tour dates," the rep adds.
Michaels, 47, who appears on the current season of "Celebrity
Apprentice," is no stranger to medical concerns. He has been vocal about
his life as a diabetic. He gives himself insulin shots and checks his
blood sugar about six to eight times a day.
