Bret Michaels was rushed to the hospital late Thursday night after suffering a massive hemorrhage near his brain stem, this according to People.com.

Michaels is reportedly in critical condition at an undisclosed hospital. According to the report, Michaels was suffering from excruciating headaches earlier in the day.

According to the report, Michaels underwent several tests -- including CAT Scans and MRIs.

The report claims it was determined Michaels suffered from a "subarachnoid hemorrhage" -- bleeding at the base of his brain stem.

Earlier this month, Michaels was rushed to the hospital after experiencing stomach pains -- he ended up having his appendix removed.

Brett is from Butler, PA

Wow - I've been watching him on Celebrity Apprentice and didn't know he was from my neck of the woods. He seems like a really sweet guy. Prayers that he pulls through and for his little girls.

I’m sorry to hear about your wife. I cannot imagine loosing my wife. I am always affected when I hear of someone having a brain aneurism. I am a brain aneurism survivor, by the healing hand of the Lord.

I never really followed him or Poison much. ( I do like Every Rose has it’s Thorn) I Didn’t know much about Bret personally but I caught Celebrity Apprentice this season and found him to an absolute sweetheart.

Did Trump just leak the outcome of this year's series?

Trump said in a statement Friday that he was "deeply saddened" to hear of Michaels' condition.

"He's a great competitor and champion, and I hope he will be fine," Trump said.

He was born in Butler, but grew up here in mechanicsburg, PA, where I live now. People here speak very fondly of him. He has a home here and loves it...his dad is still here.

I am so sorry. My cousin also died from an aneurysm. She was 48 ... the age I am now. She was the kind who put together all the reunions...now we don’t do them.

Prayers to him. I would not even know him at all if not for the Apprentice. Seems like a nice guy. I hope he gets his health straightened out.

My maternal aunt died at 20 from one, and my paternal grandfather at 56.

So I have it on both sides.

He was hit by a falling stage prop in June of 2009; causing a neck injury. Wonder if this is related? Maybe a minor injury that went undetected, and grew worse?

He was the lead singer of the band Poison. You may be familiar with the song, “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” (probably their most popular song still played on the radio all the time...)

Lead singer of a rock band named Poison. I saw them open for KISS roughly five years ago and he made a plea for the fans to “support the troops” and I'm pretty sure he mentioned his dad who fought in the Korean War.

From TMZ:

Bret Michaels -- Stabilized

Bret Michaels is awake, in good spirits and talking ... TMZ has learned.

Ambre Lake, the Season 2 winner of "Rock of Love," tells TMZ she's spoken with people who are close to Bret who say he's stabilized and conscious.

Lake's tale matches another contestant who has also spoken with Bret's bandmates.

We're told the next 24 to 48 hours are critical -- Bret will be closely monitored.
