Rocker Bret Michaels was injured at the Tony’s Sunday night. People reports that he “may have broken his nose and busted his lip during a scenery-related malfunction” at the Tony’s. Bret is known as being the frontman for the rock group Poison, but not as many people know that he is also a Type 1 diabetic.
He was just six years old when he was first diagnosed, and he’s now had the disease for 40 years. Injuries like Bret experienced at the Tony’s need to be especially watched for infection and that they are healing properly. This would be the case for any diabetic.
Here’s what happened on Sunday in case you didn’t see it:
By all accounts, it sounds as if Bret has a great sense of humor about the accident, and has sought medical attention for his injuries. We wish him a speedy recovery!
