Friends Say 'Bret Michaels' Life Will Change Forever,' No More Partying Like a Rock Star

While everyone is hoping and praying that Bret Michaels fully recovers from a massive hemorrhage near his brain stem, friends tell me that -- no matter what the outcome -- Bret's life will change forever.

"Bret is a fighter and is going to win this battle. But after you stare death in the face, it changes you forever and this is going to change Bret," a friend of the rocker tells me.

"When all this is complete, you can bet Bret will say goodbye to the rock star lifestyle and focus on what means the most to him -- being a great dad."

"This has scared the hell out of all of us and none of us will ever be the same," Bret's friend explains. "No matter how rich or famous you are, this makes it clear that we are all human."

The Poison singer suffered a "massive subarachnoid hemorrhage" late Thursday evening and was rushed to the hospital, where he was quickly put in intensive care. Bret remains in critical condition at an undisclosed location with slurred speech, blurred vision and dizziness.

"He is lucky to be alive, and if God gives him another chance you can bet he isn't going to waste it," says a source close to Bret.

According to Michaels' Facebook page, he "remains in ICU under 24 hour surveillance. Further testing this week will help locate the source of the bleeding."

"Please remember Bret is, and always has been, a fighter and survivor and is under the best medical care possible," the update added.

Just before his hospitalization, Michaels wrote on his blog that he still wasn't felling well after undergoing an appendectomy on April 13.

"I'm not 100% yet ... I have to get my blood sugar back in order, because it's been all over the place because every day I've been real active and you're not supposed to move around yet."
