Bret Michaels Is Suing the Tonys

Last year wasn't an easy one for rocker Bret Michaels, who was in and out of the hospital after suffering a brain hemorrhage and undergoing heart surgery. Now, Michaels is suing the Tony Awards and CBS for causing his hemorrhage, claiming that it was a direct result of an accident he suffered when he was hit in the head by a descending piece of the stage during his 2009 Tonys performance. "One of the most common causes of this type of hemorrhage is head trauma — exactly like the one Michaels suffered at the hands of the Tony Awards," he claims in the lawsuit. [TMZ]
