In the wake of his injury after being hit by a piece of scenery during Sunday's live broadcast of the Tony awards, rocker Bret Michaels - who posted photos of his lacerated nose and mouth on the Internet - has issued the following statement (reprinted here verbatim): I had a great time at the Tonys right up until I got blindsided, I must admit it was a little blurry after that.
