"It's devastating, and it makes you feel all these different feelings,Your heart goes out to his family, your heart goes out to him. He's the nicest guy in the world. And then you start thinking about your own mortality. You start thinking, Oh my God. It just makes you appreciate how lucky we all are."
-Legendary heavy metal wife and current "The Celebrity Apprentice" cast member Sharon Osbourne on her "Apprentice" pal Bret Michaels' current health. Michaels suffered a brain hemorrhage last Thursday (April 22) and has been in a hospital intensive care unit ever since. While the Poison frontman remains under constant medical supervision, he remains on "The Celebrity Apprentice," which wrapped several months ago.
Osbourne is one of many friends, collaborators, admirers and fans to send well wishes to Michaels. "The Celebrity Apprentice" host Donald Trump said, "This guy really was a competitor. He would work so hard, maybe harder than anybody else. And he's doing well." Fellow "Apprentice" competitor Cyndi Lauper added her own encouragement. "I am hoping for a speedy recovery," she said. "He is a strong-willed person, so I am feeling very positive that he will pull through like a champion. My thoughts are with his family." And recently dismissed "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant Bill Goldberg said, "I just spoke with Bret the day before he got sick, and I told him he had to slow down with his lifestyle. He was playing with his daughters in Arizona and was in really good spirits when we talked. I just hope that he can pull through from this and it acts as a wake-up call for him."
