BRET MICHAELS, who suffered a subarachnoid brain hemorrhage on April 22nd, just 10 days after an emergency appendectomy in San Antonio, Texas while on his Custom Built Tour, is planning on making his return to live performances Friday, May 28th, Memorial Day Weekend, at Hard Rock Live in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Michaels, who has been rehabbing since his release from ICU, has increased his rehabilitation sessions to twice a day to prepare for his comeback at the Hard Rock and to continue on all of his solo dates as well as kicking off a tour with LYNYRD SKYNYRD which begins June 10th in West Palm Beach, Florida at the Cruzan Amphitheater.

“We have been overwhelmed with well wishes and offers that continue to pour in for Bret. And promoters have really stepped up to the plate to reschedule dates he missed. Which is a testament to Bret’s great live performances and friendships he has built over the years” states Brian Ahern from William Morris Endeavor Agency (WME).

The singer plans to remain on tour throughout the fall and early winter, with dates scheduled through December. Dates that were postponed due to the singer’s medical emergencies are currently being rescheduled.

Michaels, who continues to be a strong competitor on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice Sunday nights, is hoping to be able to return to New York, along with the rest of the cast, for the finale on Sunday, May 23rd.

Donald Trump says, “We really hope that Bret is well and able to join us at the finale as Apprentice has hit some of its highest ratings ever and I have much respect as he is a fighter and strong competitor.”

Michaels will be making his first televised appearance since being hospitalized on The Oprah Winfrey Show, to air Wednesday, May 19th. His upcoming album, Custom Built, featuring the hit song 'Nothing to Lose' with MILEY CYRUS, a remake of the SUBLIME song 'What I Got', as well as a rock and country remake of his hit song 'Every Rose Has It’s Thorn' featuring other artist such as Jay Demarcus of RASCAL FLATTS, Brad Arnold of THREE DOORS DOWN, Chris Cagle and Mark Wills just to name a few. Custom Built is set to hit stores June 8th.
