[ # ] Bret Michaels learns there are things more painful than a rose’s thorn
July 23rd, 2026 under Bret Michaels

Have you ever picked up a rose and gotten pricked by a thorn? It hurts like hell.

Well, it wasn’t a thorn that got Bret Michaels singing a sad, sad song. What did? A kidney stone.

The singer was recently hospitalized with one, after a week of hoping it would pass. He posted on social media, “The pain became intense but, as usual, I played through Charleston WV, Grantville PA and a special private show at Fairchild AFB in Spokane for veterans, active duty and their families. But immediately, the next day following that show, I was admitted to the hospital, as the pain became too much when the stone would not pass.”

After he was admitted, the doctors performed an operation on him to get the poison out of his body. It was successful, and now he is hoping he will be healthy enough to play his next gig on Saturday night. Knowing him, he will be able to do it.

Michaels also wanted to thank all of the doctors and nurses who take care of everyone who comes their way, especially the ones who have taken care of him during this painful time.
