Coquitlam, BC – As front man for the legendary rock band Poison, Bret Michaels has sold over twenty-five million records and scored an amazing fifteen chartbusting Top 40 singles including “Talk Dirty to Me,” “Nothing But a Good Time,” “Unskinny Bop,” “Something to Believe In” and the timeless #1 smash, “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.” In 2003, he released his debut solo album, Songs of Life followed two years later by the rootsy Americana-flavoured sophomore album, Freedom of Sound. His 2008 album, Rock My World featured a collection of solo songs that were featured on his Rock Of Love television series which aired for three seasons on VH1. And just last May, Donald Trump "hired" Michaels as the winner on NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice beating out his thirteen opponents including fellow musician Cyndi Lauper, Darryl Strawberry and Holly Robinson Peete. After earning an astounding $390,000 for the American Diabetes Association, they honoured him with its prestigious Chair’s Citation Award.
Michael’s most recent solo album, Custom Built was released in July and charted at #1 on the Billboard Hard Rock Album Chart, #1 on the Billboard Independent Album Chart, #4 on the Billboard Rock Album Chart and #14 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart. The album features the single, “Nothing to Lose” with Miley Cyrus, a remake of Sublime’s hit song, “What I Got,” a rootsy version of “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and “Riding Against the Wind” … the theme song for his upcoming VH1 show, Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It. Michaels – whose recent television appearances include ABC’s The View, CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman and the season finale of FOX’s American Idol – will next be appearing on this Wednesday's live telecast of NBC's America's Got Talent. He’ll also be co-hosting alongside Natalie Morales the 2010 Miss Universe Pageant which airs on August 23rd on NBC. As well, Michaels is gearing up for his record setting “Custom Built” concert tour which will include a one-night performance at Boulevard Casino’s Red Robinson Show Theatre in October.
