VIDEO: Oprah Scores First Interview with Bret Michaels Since Brain Hemorrhage
May 18 2010, Published 10:47 a.m. ET
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.
Oprah asked him why he wore his signature bandana in the hospital room. He said “It’s like Superman without the cape.”
