Bret Michaels update

It has been a torrid few weeks for poor Mr. Michaels. In April this year he had emergency surgery to remove his appendix. Days after that, he suffered a brain hemmorage and nearly died. Now it has been discovered that he has a 'hole in the heart'. And all this on top of the indignity of male pattern baldness.



But things are starting to look up for the ageing rocker. He has spoken of being given a 'second chance' and is now planning on marrying his long term girlfriend. He also just won the third series of The Celebrity Apprentice.



So, well done Bret Michaels. I must admit to being slightly disappointed he didn't use this new lease of life to ditch the wig and bandana look though.

Norwood Rating : 4-5

Bret Michaels

Bret Michaels is the lead singer of hair metal band Poison, he has also done some film and tv stuff.



Even back in the day, he was known for his assortment of bandanas. Apparently he even wore one for the duration of his sex tape with Pamela Anderson. I of course don't know anything about that.



He has claimed he uses hair extensions, but it looks more like a full blown hairpiece to me. This facebook page and the website http://bretswig.com/ seem to agree.

I find it interesting that he can admit to wearing extensions but not to suffering hair loss and wig wearing. This is still a taboo subject to many people.



Below is a photo of him without headgear, a still from the movie A Letter From Death Row. It would be easy for him to claim that he shaved his head for the role, so this is far from conclusive proof as to what lies beneath the bandana.



Norwood Rating : unknown, but based on his age (46) I'd guess a 4-5
