Play Bret Michaels Off The Tony Awards, Keyboard Cat

Posted Mon Jun 8, 2009 11:36am PDT by Lyndsey Parker in And The Winner Is...

All right, let me just preface this blog by saying that IF Bret Michaels had been seriously injured during his performance with Poison at last night's Tony Awards, the video below would NOT be funny.

But, since Bret is reportedly OK after last night's onstage incident...well, this is pretty dang hilarious:

Yes, in probably the most Spinal Tap-esque moment in Broadway history, Bret was nearly decapitated--or at least almost lost part of his golden blonde weave--when a descending set piece toppled him over at the end of his "Nothin' But A Good Time" performance with the Rock Of Ages cast.

But apparently his wig/cowboy hat combo was not just a totally awesome fashion statement. It seems it also served as some sort of helmet-like head armor. And so, Bret survived with only minor injuries aside from his bruised ego.

Thus, let the mockery begin in earnest...Keyboard Cat-style!

I feel bad for him. I am just happy he wasn't seriously injured. I can't believe how many people's comments are just down-right mean and heartless. He should give up on the Rock of Love girls and get a normal woman!

i don't like anyone to get hurt and it was not really that funny. what is funny is his need to wear eye makeup. sheeeeesh. he is scarey. he looks sweaty and dirty, unclean. and all those women look the same. tons of make up, silicone drenched 30 somethings living in the 80's. his tv show is so phoney and fake. i wonder when is he going to act his age. dude, you look like a drag queen.---who agrees? rocknvoxatyah000000000000000000000000000000

I know it looks funny but these types of accidents can lead to major physical problems. He isn't a twenty something kid anymore and at his age, he won't rebound as easily. He just might have to date someone closer to his age or heavens forbid someone not wanting to swing from the chandlers! At least until he recovers…snicker…snicker. Maybe they could have another reality series, old babes coddle over the hill rocker to health.

It would have been funny if it happended to a rapper. Then they could claim conspiracy and wine about it on their next three crappy CD.

How is that funny?? The poor guy broke his nose!! ...and probably bruised his ego as well....

55. Brian - Mon Jun 8, 2009 11:12pm PDT

if he got his head cut off I would still laugh.. Rock stars dont care about us "little people".. seriously.. if Brett saw one of us getting slammed in the head he would laugh...
