Michaels discusses Tony Awards incident

Bret Michaels has declared that he had his "bell rung" during his on-set accident at the Tony Awards.

The Poison singer said that he was having a "great time" performing at the event until sustaining a broken nose after being hit by a descending set piece, People reports.

"When I opened my eyes I noticed a large set prop coming down straight for me. I immediately pushed myself out of the way and amidst the chaos I laid on the floor and asked, 'What the hell just happened?'" he said in a statement.

Michaels revealed that he experienced numbness in his nose, mouth and head following the incident, and is not pleased with the Tony organisation, who issued a statement that the singer had simply missed his mark.

He added: "I must state I found it a little strange that the only statement released by the Tony organisation was that I missed my mark and that I was completely fine. First, I thought, 'What mark?' as there was no official mark."

The Rock Of Love reality star found the announcement to be "slightly irresponsible", but is "not looking for an apology" from those involved with the show.

"I only hoped that on a human level that the Tony organisations' representative would have expressed some concern for injury in their statement or at the very least claim they would be looking into the matter."

Poison will perform on a summer tour bill with Def Leppard and Cheap Trick later this month.
