Bret Michaels performed live for the first time after a triple health crisis on last nightÂ's (Wednesday, May 26) "American Idol" finale. He joined talent show finalist Casey James for a rendition of the POISON classic "Every Rose Has Its Thorn".
After the show, Michaels spoke to the media at the "American Idol" press conference.
"I just wanna say, I needed to be here and do this," he said. "ItÂ's been two months since I played, itÂ's been a month and a half in the hospital and it was just such an amazing feeling to come out there tonight and jam with Casey. CaseyÂ's such a great guitar player.
"I didnÂ't tell the doctors I was gonna do this," he continued. "I told Â'em I was going to do Â'Celebrity ApprenticeÂ', the finale ... but I feel great, I gotta be honest. ThereÂ's still obviously a lot of things, a lot of pain IÂ'm still experiencing, but except for a little, as they say, a little Â'hitch in your giddy-up,Â' ... I feel amazing."
So whatÂ's next? "The plan is on Friday IÂ'm going to attempt to go do a show in Biloxi and IÂ'm gonna see how that goes. IÂ'll just take a few shows at a time," says Bret.
How has his outlook on life changed since his health problems? "The outlook on life... I always thought I enjoyed every day, but now I know I enjoy every day. Every minute here is awesome."
