BRET MICHAELS: 'The E! True Hollywood Story' To Premiere This Friday

March 4, 2009

Bret Michaels is rock's latest master of reinvention. As lead vocalist for the band POISON, Michaels secured a place in heavy metal history, but his current role as rocker with a heart of tarnished gold on the "Rock Of Love" reality series has earned Bret a brand-new generation of fans. Now, E!'s "True Hollywood Story" delivers an all-access pass to Michaels' surprising life story, revealing his rise from rat-infested Hollywood apartments to stadiums packed with screaming fans.

In an exclusive new interview, Michaels turns rock and roll clichés upside down and speaks candidly about his life-long struggle with diabetes, several failed romances and his determination. In addition, Michaels' father Wally Sychak, former POISON guitarist Blues Saraceno and many other first-hand witnesses to Bret's journey offer personal insights into the real man behind the rock star.

"Bret Michaels: The E! True Hollywood Story" features rare performance video of POISON's earliest incarnation, called PARIS, and never-before-seen photos and home video from Michaels' childhood. The special also includes intimate footage of Michaels' tearful introduction to his daughter Raine Elizabeth — straight from the hospital delivery room. Plus, tracks from Bret's solo albums layered throughout the episode are sure to bring viewers to their feet.

"Bret Michaels: The E! True Hollywood Story" premieres Friday, March 6 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on E!
