Brett Michaels, lead singer of Poison, was admitted to the hospital Thursday in Nashville just before the band took the stage as part of the Stadium Tour alongside Def Leppard, Mtley Cre and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
According to TMZ, his bandmates took the stage to make the announcement and apologized for having to cancel their performance.
On the 10th anniversary of his brain haemorrhage in 2020 – which coincidentally fell on the night he was revealed to be going bananas in the third season of The Masked Singer – Michaels revealed that he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of six .
“These are the roses and thorns of my life,” he said at the time in an interview with People magazine. “I am so grateful. I’m celebrating the anniversary of being on the good side of dirt and being a survivor. I never celebrate a brain hemorrhage.
“But how ironic that it’s literally 10 years since the show aired, it aired right around the time they were operating on my brain at night. Who knew it would all come full circle on April 22? the kids’ lives, my life, I had no idea any of this was going to line up,” Michaels added.
The length of Michaels’ absence is unknown; however, the tour will continue with shows in Florida on Saturday and Mississippi on Sunday.

In a recent update to their story, TMZ claims that a source close to Michaels claims that he may have had a negative reaction to a drug that is related to the COVID drug, and that his diabetes may have caused the reaction.
Due to COVID-19, the extensive North American tour has been postponed from 2020 to 2021. “To all our loyal fans, we wanted to let you know that today we learned that the tour is moving to 2022,” the band said in a post on Facebook in May 2021
The mega-tour finally kicked off on June 16 in Atlanta, Georgia, and is slated to run through the summer before wrapping up on September 9 in Las Vegas.
