Bret Michaels Tony Awards Injury Pics
Bret Michaels posted pics and a rant on his MySpace page regarding the Tony’s incident the other night where he was injured onstage after running into a huge stage prop.
Or maybe the stage prop ran into him. It depends on who you ask.
Bret’s rep released a scathing statement, suggesting if Bret had been a huge A-lister that he would have been treated better after the accident. But instead the Tony’s swept him under the rug and acted like it was no big thang.
An excerpt reads:
“I find it surprising that a Tony spokesperson would brush off this incident with a comment stating ‘Mr. Michaels missed his mark’ with no mention of concern for his condition. If everyone at the Tonys were aware that Bret missed his mark then they should have been aware enough to stop the set piece from hitting him or at least slowed it down until he cleared the stage.
I feel had this incident happened to Liza Minnelli, Dolly Parton or Elton John the Tonys would have at least issued a letter of concern.
Bret has performed live, with Poison or solo, for over 20 years and on a daily basis is around pyro, lasers and a moving light show. He understands that there is always an element of risk in any live performance, but Bret entrusts his safety to the crew whose job it is to make sure the show goes off without a hitch and should any member of the band be in harm’s way that they do not complete the gag.
However in this situation Bret was not on his stage but was at the mercy of the Tonys. He was performing on the Tonys stage and had the reasonable expectation that that safety of the artist was a priority and at no time did he do anything over the top or outlandish that would have put himself or others in a dangerous situation.”
(Read the entire statement after the cut.)
He is right. It’s funny because it was Bret Michaels. But damn straight, if it would have been Dolly Parton, oh lawd, people would have SCRAMBLED!
The pics Bret posted are hilarious. He looks exactly the same in every photo he takes. The way he purses his lips..ugh.
