Bret Michaels tries to save face!

I really feel bad for Bret Michaels but since nothing really bad happened to him I can say, what happened to him on the Tony Awards was one of the funniest things I have ever seen! For any of you who missed it I do not want to rob you of this opportunity!!

Of course Bret’s people are trying to turn this around in order for their client to save face. Here is the statement they have released via his myspace blog.

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 Minneli, Dolly Parton or Elton John the Tonys would have at least issued a letter of concern.

LOL

Furthermore………

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. To put this into perspective a garage door has a safety mechanism so that it doesn’t come down if your child should accidentally walk under it while it is in motion. You mean to tell us that with all the technology, producers, directors, stage managers and crew that no one at the Tonys saw Mr. Michaels clearly backing up and turning to exit the stage or was capable of halting the prop or slowing it so it didn’t strike Bret? There was no official mark, Bret did what he was instructed to do which was to finish the song and return to the retractable stage platform, which was exactly what he was doing when the prop struck his head. Bob Wallerstein a representative for Michaels said “we realize the show is live and must go on, however it is unfortunate that the show’s host made light of the situation without having any knowledge of the severity of Bret’s injuries.

I love Poison and all my hair bands from the 80′s but why was Bret even on the Tony’s?
