Poison singer Bret Michaels is suing the Tony Awards for causing the brain hemorrhage that left him in critical condition last April.

Michaels performed at the Tonys last year and suffered a bang to the face as he was leaving the set. In papers filed yesterday in Los Angeles, Michaels blames the show’s producers for not showing him how to exit the stage safely.

“One of the most common causes of this type of hemorrhage is head trauma - exactly like the one Michaels suffered at the hands of the Tony Awards,” the papers read.

The ‘Rock of Love’ star is suing for unspecified damages.
