Bret Michaels is giving his first TV interview to Oprah Winfrey since his brain hemorrhage. And RadarOnline.com has the preview clip where the 47-year-old says “All of a sudden, I just started moving around and boom—there was this explosion.”

When you look at the video, you have to do a double take, because the rocker looks as though he has completely recovered. His speech is back and so is his sense of humor.
