BRET MICHAELS underwent CAT scans following his Tony Awards accident to ensure the rocker hadn't aggravated a past neck injury.
Brett Michaels and Poison at The 63rd Tony Awards held at the Radio City Music Hall.
New York City, USA - 07.06.09
Michaels was exiting the stage after performing with his band Poison at the awards ceremony on Sunday (07Jun09) when he was knocked off his feet by a descending piece of the set.
The rocker laughed off the injury backstage, wiping away blood with a towel as host Neil Patrick Harris joked that he had given "a whole new meaning" to head-banging.
But doctors insisted Michaels needed to visit a hospital to have x-rays taken as a precaution.
He was given three stitches in his lip and is now nursing a fractured nose and bruises, according to his publicist.
