Bret Michaels

 

Bret Michael Sychak, also known as Bret Michaels (born March 15, 1963 in Butler, Pennsylvania) is best known as the lead vocalist of the glam metal band Poison.  He had a highly successful career with Poison in the late 1980s and early 1990s. During that time, he co-wrote ten Top 40 singles including the hit, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", which held the number one spot for three weeks in Billboard’s Top Pop Singles chart, and Poison videos were in heavy rotation on MTV. Michaels, who is famous for his good looks and for his voice, was featured constantly on the covers and pull-out posters of music mags sans shirt, which cost him and the band some credibility.  Poison has six studio albums, all featuring him on lead vocals, although CC Deville has sang lead vocals on a couple of tracks.  He released his second solo album Songs Of Life in May 2003. The album featured cameos by C.C. DeVille and Rikki Rockett of Poison. The first single, Raine was named after his daughter, Raine Elizabeth Michaels.  He recently completed work on his third solo album, Freedom of Sound, which is being released by his own record company BMB Records.  He has produced and written for numerous artists, including Stevie Nicks, for whom hewrote and produced the song, “Loves A Hard Game To Play.” The song was written for the “Timespace - The Best of Stevie Nicks’ album”, which was certified platinum.  See Bret Michaels LIVE!
