Bret Michaels recently underwent a complicated surgery to remove a kidney stone, causing him to pause his ‘Live & Amplified’ world tour.
Michaels’ physicians advised him to take it easy for 3 to 4 weeks due to the surgery and his preexisting health conditions, including diabetes and a lower back compression fracture.
The ureteral stent placed during the surgery could cause discomfort and inflammation, making strenuous physical activity risky for Michaels.
Michaels’ diabetes increases his risk of developing infections post-surgery, and his doctors emphasized the importance of a safe recovery process.
Michaels expressed gratitude for the medical treatment he received and plans to return to touring with full energy once he has recovered, but his upcoming shows have been canceled or postponed until his condition is re-evaluated.
