Bret Michaels hospitalized after 7-day medical ordeal left him playing through 'intense' pain

Bret Michaels is sharing a health update with his fans after opening up about his issue with a kidney stone last weekend.

The 63-year-old musician took to Facebook on Wednesday, July 22, to share with his followers that he is in recovery following a procedure to remove a kidney stone that would not pass on its own.

"On this #WisdomWednesday , the first thing I learned is complete gratitude for the frontline workers, doctors and nurses who this week have recently taken care of me, as the kidney stone (after almost 7 days of waiting it out) would not pass," he wrote. "The pain became intense but, as usual, I played through Charleston WV, Grantville PA and a special private show at Fairchild AFB in Spokane for veterans, active duty and their families."

The morning after playing the third concert in which he pushed through the pain, Michaels was admitted to the hospital because "the pain became too much when the stone would not pass."

He then assured his followers that "the operation has been done and is complete & I’m out of post-op recovery" and that he hopes to be back on his feet as soon as possible.

"I’m doing everything within my power to feel better and continue playing great shows for great fans when I’ve got a complete clean bill of health," he said. "Just want to say on this #WisdomWednesday that I am wise enough to know how important family, friends, fans, doctors and nurses play such a vital role in our everyday health."

In the photo shared on Facebook, the "Talk Dirty to Me" singer is seen lying in a hospital bed in an all-black outfit and a baseball cap on, as he is connected to monitors.

"Also just know, they eventually forced me out of my clothes & into a hospital gown lol as I had gone straight from the show to the hospital," he joked.
