Bret Michaels Posts Photos Of Tony Award Injuries On MySpace

Photos show Poison frontman's swollen, scraped nose and upper lip.

On Tuesday night, [artist id="330"]Bret Michaels'[/artist] reps released a statement [article id="1613623"]ripping the Tony Awards[/article] for their casual dismissal of the [article id="1613466"]"Rock of Love" star's injuries[/article] and for their attempt to blame those injuries on Michaels "missing a mark" during his performance.

Less than 24 hours later, Michaels let a pair of photos do all the talking for him.

The Poison frontman took to his MySpace page (we know) on Wednesday, posting two pictures of the injuries he sustained when he was [article id="1613397"]hit in the head by a descending set piece[/article] at the conclusion of his performance on the Tonys telecast.

In the first photo, Michaels' nose is clearly swollen and features several scrapes. In the second, Michaels is lifting his upper lip, showing an inch-long gash. In the hours following the Tonys mishap, a spokesperson for Michaels told The Associated Press that the singer suffered "a fractured nose and a contusion to his lip that required three stitches," and that he was undergoing a CAT scan as a precautionary measure, as he had a previous neck injury.

Aside from the pictures, Michaels (or someone who updates his MySpace page) posted a brief -- and decidedly nondescript -- statement: "Photos of the injuries sustained from the incident at the Tony Awards have been added to the profile page, as well as the photo albums ... Thanks for your support!"

And support is what Michaels got, with fans offering their well-wishing ("God Love your heart :( Hope you get healed up fast") and hopes for a speedy recovery. Of course, to others, the pictures were a shock -- seems they were unaware that he had been injured at the Tony Awards in the first place, because they "don't watch those shows."

The photos probably won't be Michaels' only comment about the Tonys incident, either. According to his reps, a full statement from the singer is still forthcoming.
