Brett Michaels + Tony Awards = Broken Nose
Singer and reality TV star Bret Michaels walked away from the Tony awards with a fractured nose and a busted lip.
Michaels's spokeswoman reported that the rock singer had X-rays taken after getting "clocked in the head" by a descending set piece at Sunday's Radio City Music Hall ceremony.
His publicist, Joann Mignano, said that Michaels, who performed with his 1980s hair-metal band Poison, fractured his nose and had to get three stitches in his lip. She went on to say he was getting a CAT scan on Monday as a precaution, as he's had neck injuries in the past.
Although he is "pretty bruised up," Mignano says, Michaels was in good spirits. Reports indicate that he wiped off blood with a towel and laughed backstage when host Neil Patrick Harris joked that the singer "gave head banging a whole new meaning."
