BRET MICHAELS Interviewed On FOX NEWS' 'On The Record With Greta Van Susteren'
July 14, 2010POISON frontman was a guest on last night's (Tuesday, July 13) edition of "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" on the FOX News channel. You can now watch his appearance below.
Just two-and-a-half months ago Bret suffered a brain hemorrhage, followed by what was called a "warning stroke." On his incredible recovery, Bret told "Entertainment Tonight", "It happened, I didn't die from it. That's the bottom line, I didn't die from it. I love being out of the hospital. After you spend literally what was almost a month and half in two different — technically three different ICU units — I was done. I was like, 'I need to get out of here.' It becomes extremely depressing, and what gets me up and going out there is making music and being around my family and friends. That's an awesome feeling."
Last month on "Good Morning America", Bret joined Miley Cyrus for a performance. On their pairing creating some controversy, he says, "Miley and her family — Tish and Billy Ray and all of them — they've all been friends for a while. They've been out to our shows and my daughters have been to her shows... [Miley] came in and sang a really, really awesome harmony. And it caused amazing controversy out of nothing."
Bret said his own daughters, meanwhile, were "extremely excited" to hear his collaboration with Miley.
Now he has a brand-new album out, "Custom Built". Does he think he pushed himself to get back on the road too soon? "I'll be honest with you. I took every precaution," he said. "I wouldn't do it if I thought I was going to die. I fought too hard to live."
He went on to say, "I want to show people I'm healthy. I feel great. I'm thankful for all the well wishes and everything that came my way, but let's get back to having a great time. Let's get back to rockin' again."
