In May 2010, he was hand-picked as Donald Trump's Season 3 winner on Celebrity Apprentice. He has graced the covers of People, US weekly, Billboard, Scottsdale Health, Diabetes Forecast and other magazines.
As front man of legendary rock band Poison, Michaels has sold more than 29 million records and scored an amazing 14 Top 40 hits, including the timeless No. 1 smash single "Every Rose Has its Thorn," his solo country crossover hit "All I Ever Needed" and his rock hit "Go That Far." As an actor, Michaels has made regular appearances on multiple hit television shows and starred in his hit reality show, Rock of Love with Bret Michaels, which became the highest-rated series on Vh1. His most recent show Bret Michaels: Life As I know It, still remains one of the top-ranking shows on the network.
Over the years, fans of Michaels have seen him endure a great deal of personal adversity regarding his health. Since the age of six, Michaels has lived a daily battle with Type-1 diabetes, which he has turned into a lifelong cause that he continues to support as a spokesperson for the American Diabetes Association. He was awarded the ADA's prestigious Chair's Citation Award in 2010 for excellence in raising awareness and funds for diabetes.
In 1994, he survived a car accident along with various traumatic injuries. In 2010, he overcame a near-fatal brain hemorrhage and subsequent stroke. It is Michaels's characteristic determination and strong willpower that pulls him through any hardship that might come his way.
"Bret Michaels is known to fans around the world as a rock star and a television celebrity," said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. "But what we've come to appreciate even more as we get to know Bret is the personal side of this rock 'n' roll icon. He is a devoted father, active philanthropist and a passionate automotive enthusiast. We are honored to have him with us again."
