Bret Michaels Fractured Nose Pics from Tony Awards

Bret Michaels is really upset with the Tony Awards for their lack of concern about his broken nose, and other injuries. The Tony Awards execs said only, eh, Bret "missed his mark" exiting the stage during Poison’s performance. Janna Elias, Bret’s rep, said:

"With all due respect to everyone working the Tony Awards, somewhere down the line there was a lack of communication and the prop should have been immediately halted until Michaels was clear. Sunday morning at rehearsals, Bret was never informed that the descending set piece existed, let alone would be moving into position as he was exiting the stage."

"I find it surprising that a Tony spokesperson would brush off this incident with a comment stating, Mr. Michaels missed his mark,’ with no mention of concern for his condition. If everyone at the Tonys were aware that Bret missed his mark, then they should have been aware enough to stop the set piece from hitting him or at least slowed it down until he cleared the stage. I feel had this incident happened to Liza Minneli, Dolly Parton or Elton John, the Tonys would have at least issued a letter of concern."

Sometimes the only way to get the offending party to recognize their mistake is to sue them.
