Since Thursday the metal family has been watching and waiting for news about Poison frontman and reality star Bret Michaels. Michaels was rushed to the hospital Thursday night with a  massive subarachnoid hemorrhage, and listed in critical condition. The 80s rock star and reality television staple had earlier complained of an excruciating headache.

"After several CAT scans, MRIs and an angiogram, [doctors] decided to keep Michaels in the ICU and are running several tests to determine the cause. [It] will be touch and go for the next few days while he is under intense observation," a source told People.com on Friday.

Michaels had an emergency appendectomy in San Antonio, Texas, on April 12, 2010, and broke his nose in June, 2009 during a Tony Awards telecast when part of the set lowered onto his head. Michaels also has diabetes.

This really sucks, Michaels is well-known as one of the nicest and open people in metal. Get well soon, Bret!

While we wait for positive news, enjoy Poison's cover of the Loggins and Messina classic Your Momma Don't Dance off 1988's Open Up and Say... Ahh!
