Poison lead singer Bret Michaels remains in the hospital Monday after his tragic brain hemorrhage, but his sister Michelle had a positive update about him and said he is “definitely doing better and he was starting to walk a little bit.”
Calling into The Todd N Tyler Radio Empire show on Monday morning, Michelle said she last spoke to Bret on Saturday and gave the update about her brother.
“He’s up and moving but it is not going to surprise me if he is still in the ICU on Friday. I think they’re having a problem really getting the bleed…I think there are some issues…that’s why the back pain.”
As RadarOnline.com has previously reported, Michaels was rushed to the hospital last week after suffering a brain hemorrhage which left him with slurred speech, blurred vision and dizziness as a result of the bleeding at the base of his brain stem.
