Lac du Flambeau, Wis. (Vocus) June 9, 2009 -- In spite of the terrifying accident Bret Michaels (http://www.bretmichaels.com) had after performing live at the broadcasted Tony Award ceremony held this past Sunday in New York City, Bret Michaels is on schedule to perform in concert 8:00pm Saturday, June 13 at the Lac du Flambeau Amphitheater at Lake of the Torches Resort Casino (http://www.lakeofthetorches.com) in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin. Tickets are still on sale for this tremendous outdoor rock party!

As recently described by the Associated Press, “rock singer Bret Michaels had a run-in with some stage scenery at the Tony Awards. Michaels, star of the reality show "Rock of Love," took to the stage with his hair-metal band Poison during the telecast's opening production number, featuring performances from the season's Broadway musicals.

They performed "Nothin' But a Good Time" with the cast of "Rock of Ages," and as Michaels exited the stage, a descending set piece smacked him on the head and knocked him to the ground.

Tonys spokeswoman Christina Stejskal says the rocker "missed his mark." Though it looked it, he did not break his nose. Stejskal did not immediately know the extent of his injury.”

“I have personally spoken to Bret and his people and I can assure you Bret is fine and is ready to rock all of his fans here at Lake of the Torches.” said Michael J. Broderick, Director of Marketing at Lake of the Torches Resort Casino. “Bret is a true rock star and professional in every sense of the word. According to Bret, it is going to take more than a set falling on him to stop him from performing this Saturday in Wisconsin!”

And as a special one time only offer, 20 VIP “all access” tickets have been offered at $500 each, where true Bret Michaels fans will have the opportunity to meet Bret and the band in person!
