Singer Bret Michaels was in critical condition in an intensive care unit this week after suffering a brain hemorrhage, said People.com. The former Poison frontman and Rock of Love star suffered “slurred speech, blurred vision, and dizziness” caused by bleeding at the base of his brain stem. Michaels, 47, was hospitalized after complaining of an excruciating headache he likened to “getting hit in the head with a baseball bat.”
