Rocker and reality TV personality ... Bret Michaels, lead singer of band Poison ...

THE band Poison made him famous, but his health battles have also had global attention - and now Bret Michaels has been rushed off stage after another medical emergency.

Michaels was rushed off stage in Manchester, New Hampshire, after he could not continue his concert in front of his fans.


In an official statement issued by band guitarist Pete Evick, Michaels appeared to be suffering from 'extremely low' blood sugar.


In an official statement posted on Facebook, Evick wrote:

'This is a message I never imagined I'd have to post.


'Tonight in Manchester, NH 3 songs into the set Bret had me sing a song as he rushed off stage. 'In the 9 years I've stood next to him, I've never seen a look like the one on his face as if I was a complete stranger.


'One of the crew returned instantly to notify me that Bret's blood sugar was extremely low.


'He returned to the stage only to announce that he could not continue.

'As you all know he is a health fanatic and fiercely monitors his blood sugar, he basically had to be dragged off the stage in his sickest of conditions.


'When I rushed to the bus he could barley speak, but begged me to apologise to the fans and seemed only concerned for them.


'As of now he is with paramedics being evaluated. We will keep you posted throughout the evening.

An hour later, another message was posted on Michaels's Facebook page, thanking paramedics, though the status of his health was still unclear.


'Sending a huge shout out to all the paramedics both on and off duty who have assisted Bret tonight. No words can thank you enough for your help.


- Team Bret'


Michaels has battled a number of health issues including Type 1 diabetes.


In 2010, he underwent an emergency appendectomy, then survived a massive brain haemorrhage, followed shortly by a stroke.
