Bret Michaels Takes His Lumps

I mentioned in the live blog that it looked like someone got hit by a backdrop at the end of a song last night at the Tonys.

It was Bret Michaels from Poison, and although in the show they said he was "fine," it looks like it was more serious than that.

Here's what the Associated Press said:

Bret Michaels performed at the Tony Awards, and all he got was a nose fracture — and a busted lip.

According to Michaels’ spokeswoman, the rock singer had X-rays taken after getting clocked in the head by a descending set piece at Sunday’s Radio City Music Hall ceremony.

Publicist Joann Mignano says Michaels, who performed with his 1980s hair-metal band Poison, fractured his nose and had to get three stitches in his lip. She says he was getting a CAT scan on Monday as a precaution, as he’s had a past neck injury.

Although he’s “pretty bruised up,” Mignano says, Michaels was in good spirits.
