Here is the post:   Breaking News: Message From Pete Evick Regarding Bret Michaels’ Medical Emergency 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.

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.

When I rushed to the bus he could barley speak, but begged me to apologize to the fans and [Read More]
