Poison frontman Bret Michaels has revealed that he was watching softcore porn when he suffered a recent brain haemorrhage.

The singer was rushed to hospital last month with a severe headache. Doctors later discovered blood on the brain.

Michaels, who is expected to make a full recovery, recalled the night he fell ill in an interview with Rolling Stone.

"I was going back and forth from SportsCenter to Busty Cops 3," he said, adding: “Maybe that's what did it!"

The singer also admitted that he still gets “chills” when he recalls how close he was to dying.

As previously reported on Gigwise, Michaels has been advised to rest for four to six weeks, and it is not clear when he will be able to resume touring.
