Bret Micheals taking Tony Awards and cbs to court over 2009 injury

Bret Michaels is either hard up for cash or he just remembered that he got injured back in 2009 during that year's Tony Awards broadcast on CBS.

Bret Michaels filed a lawsuit Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court against the network and the Awards, stemming from his on-stage injury during a Rock of Ages-inspired performance at the 2009 Tony Awards. In the suit, Michaels claims he asked producers whether there were any instructions as to where he should stand on the stage during his performance, but was only told to “simply exit the stage from the rear.” After singing “Nothin’ But a Good Time” — one of the songs used in Broadway’s Rock of Ages — the Poison rocker was hit by a piece of stage scenery.
