He has survived a lifelong battle with type 1 diabetes (type 1 diabetes efects the immune system and distroys the cells in the pancreas), a well publicized near fatal car crash in 1994, a brain hemorrhage and the countless musical trends and fads of the last two decades. At the age of six, Bret was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Bret appeared on Celebrity Apprentice to raise money for sick kids with diabetes. He raised more than $100,000. The boss thought that it was amazing for Bret to turn up to Celebrity Apprentice just to see if he could raise enough money for sicks diabetic kids! Bret Michaels is a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League and the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League. Bret has his own personalized guitar with the team's logo on it, and played the national anthem at Three Rivers Stadium. His favorite player was Jack Lambert, and Bret Michaels has been a member of fan club "Lambert's Lunatics." In Brets early years, he loved heavy rock and was influenced by bands such as Kiss, Sweet, AC/DC, and Aerosmith. Bret Michaels formed the band Paris in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1984. The band, which later became Poison, moved to Los Angeles in 1985 to begin touring the clubs there.

In the early 80's, Bret Michaels started playing in a band with longtime friend and drummer Rikki Rockett. Both later joined forces with bassist Bobby Dall and guitarist Matt Smith and formed the band 'Paris'. After playing mostly local gigs in the Pittsburgh area, the band moved to Los Angeles. Not long after they arrived, Matt Smith was replaced by C. C. DeVille, and that was when the band changed thier name to 'Poison'. In thoes early days, Poisin did the same as every band in L.A, Brett Michaels and the rest of the group teased their hair, went heavy on the make-up, and wore worn outlandish outfits, which led the critics to label groups like them as, 'Hair Metal Bands'. (Hounoustly, i think that the name is funny as and ridiculous!) They were sometimes compared to Mötley Crüe, another up-and-coming LA metal band. The Band 'Poisin' have sold more than 25 million albums. In the mid-90s, Bret Michaels formed a film production company with actor Charlie Sheen. The partnership ultimately led to Bret writing, directing and starring in several films including "A Letter From Death Row" which he executive co-produced with Sheen. Bret Michaels has also produced and written material for other artists like Stevie Nicks. He wrote and produced the song "Love's a Hard Game to Play" which appeared on Nicks' platinum album "Timespace: The Best Of Stevie Nicks." More recently, Bret Michaels could be heard providing background vocals along with Phil Vassar on the Kenny Chesney/Uncle Kracker duet single "Last Night Again." Bret Michaels regularly works out to keep himself in top shape, the intensive touring schedule that Poison was renowned for. Of course, female Poison fans do not mind it either, finding the front man one of the hottest rockers around. He is very modest and laughed the situation off by saying that if anyone saw him in the morning, he wouldn’t be in the top 500. Although he is an experienced performer, Bret and the rest of Poisin admit that they still get nervous when playing live, incase they muck up, but that gives them more energy than any other band in the world. Despite having sold millions of records all over the world, he is still not completely satisfied with his achievements thus far, adding that he would like to expand musically, especially as a front man and a singer. He feels as if he has held back on some of the talents he has at being a front man, and each year releases some of those abilities, little by little through a particular song or songs on an album. As a former actor, Bret Michaels has made regular appearances on hit television shows as "Yes Dear," "Martial Law," and "The Chris Isaak Show." And he has also co-hosted "Access Hollywood" and been a judge on the wildly popular "Nashville Star" program. Recently, Michaels has played for charity on "Don't Forget the Lyrics" winning $250,000 for St. Jude's Children's Hospital and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. (really good shows in America)

What Bret Michaels has done is amazing! Charity work for the sick, raising money for hospitals and sick children, not only that, but his carrer would be fantastic! Touring the world with more than 25 million albums sold and 15 hits in the top 40! almost half!
