a memberDespite reports that Bret Michaels' condition had "stabilized" after he suffered a brain hemorrhage late Thursday, his website was updated Saturday, noting that the Poison singer remains in critical condition.
"There are several incorrect reports on Bret's condition," the post reads. "Bret remains in critical condition at an undisclosed location. Further tests are being ran and information will be updated in the coming days."
TMZ reported late Friday that Michaels was "awake, in good spirits and talking" citing Ambre Lake, the season-two winner of Michaels' "Rock of Love" reality show. The site reported that Lake has spoken with people close to Michaels who said he was "stabilized and conscious." Lake's status update on the 47-year-old hair-metal legend was said to coincide with another unidentified "Rock of Love" contestant who is in touch with the other members of Poison. Michaels was rushed to the hospital late Thursday evening, where doctors discovered he had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage, or bleeding at the base of his brain stem, a rep for the singer confirmed to MTV News.
"After several CAT scans, MRIs and an angiogram, [doctors] decided to keep Michaels in the ICU and are running several tests to determine the cause [of the hemorrhage]," a source told People magazine, in a report that Michaels' rep said was accurate. "[It] will be touch and go for the next few days while he is under intense observation "

Michaels: Second chancePoison singer Bret Michaels says he thought he'd been shot in the back of the head when he suffered a brain heamorrhage at home two weeks ago.
Doctors have said he's on course to make a full recovery, and he's out of hospital and receiving physiotherapy to get back on his feet. He can talk but can't walk well yet, and continues to be in pain and the blood clot dissolves.
Michaels says: "It sounded like a handgun - it literally popped. It made my mind go almost blank. My neck tensed up and I couldn't move my head at all.
"I knew I was slurring my words and I was like, 'Okay, this isn't a headache. There's something really bad happening."
He immediately asked girlfriend Kristi Gibson to take him to hospital, where it was discovered he'd suffered bleeding in the brain, only days after he'd undergone an emergency appendectomy which, he'd said, saw him ten minutes from death.
He told doctors if there was a chance he'd survive he didn't want his daughters, 5 and 9, to see him in such a bad condition. Advised there was always a chance, he decided to keep them out of the ICU.
Michaels, 47, says: "I'm luck to be alive. It's the weirdest thing – you feel so much love and focus on what becomes really important. I want to continue to rock the world, love my family and be a good father.
"Kristi's such a great person. Marriage is something I've never done before so, yes, that may be one of the things on the list.
"But my first goal is to get back 100percent. I was given a second chance."
