BRET MICHAELS' Band Preps For Emergency Stops

May 11, 2010

According to TMZ.com, POISON frontman Bret Michaels' solo band is confident that the singer will join them on their upcoming tour — but they're still preparing an emergency plan in case something goes wrong.

Sources close to the band tell TMZ.com that when Bret returns, "someone in the crew will be required to provide the bus drivers with a list of every hospital from current location to next location ... addresses and all ... so in the event of an emergency, they have the info readily available."

Bret has released a new song on iTunes. A ballad entitled "Wasted Time", the track was recorded before Michaels' recent heath issues. The lyrics now sound eerie to many fans:

"Lately I just ain't been myself,
Lately I've been feeling something else
There's a time to hurt, a time to heal."

Less than two weeks after Bret Michaels was hospitalized for a massive subarachnoid brain hemorrhage, he was discharged from Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona to receive physical therapy at an undisclosed location.

"I opened my eyes, and was like, 'I am so thankful. I'm lucky to be alive," Bret told People magazine in his first interview about the ordeal. "It just wasn't my time yet!"

"I'm a believer it's a combination of will and faith [that kept me alive]," the 47-year-old singer explained. "Will — and good medical attention — and faith."
