Poison singer Bret Michaels remains in a critical condition in hospital after suffering a brain haemorrhage last week.

People magazine reports that a Sunday update on Michaels' website read: "At this point Bret remains in ICU in critical condition. He is under 24 hour doctors [sic] care and supervision. We are hopeful that further tests will locate the source of the bleeding, which has still not been located.

"As we all know Bret is a fighter and we are hopeful that once all is complete the slurred speech, blurred vision and dizziness, etc., will be eliminated and all functions will return to normal."

TVGuide.com reports that forty-seven-year-old Michaels, who underwent an emergency appendectomy earlier this month, was admitted to hospital on Thursday with a painful headache, after which a bleed was diagnosed.

Michaels, whose hits with Poison include 'Every Rose Has Its Thorn' and 'Talk Dirty to Me', is one of the current stars of 'The Celebrity Apprentice' on US TV.
