Dr. Joseph Zabramski spoke about the singer’s future, “Bret's brain and body are not quite 100% yet, especially with the hole found in his heart.” He continued “There is no doubt that the positive Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is devastating news to Bret and his family. The good news is that it is operable and treatable and we think we may have diagnosed the problem that caused the Transient Ischemic Attach (TIA) or warning stroke; however we feel it is highly unlikely this is connected to the brain hemorrhage he suffered just a few weeks earlier. Once again it is great that he quickly reacted to the severe numbness and got to the hospital immediately."

Bret's rep released a statement on the singer’s Facebook page stressing his devotion to his fans and reminding them why he is a rock star. "Bret wants everyone to know he cannot thank you enough for all of the well wishes, prayers, and good vibes you have sent his way. Even though these last few months have been tough on him and his family, especially this most recent setback, he is in good spirits, great medical hands and is positive and hopeful that everything is going to be OK. He is up, walking, talking, continuing his daily rehab and very happy to be alive but he has made it clear he is sick and tired of being in the hospital and is ready to rock again."

Sorry but learned a friend of mine's dh died because a dr said he had heart burn and he was having a heart attack and died. I hate doctors.

I will most certainly agree with you on that pooky. I feel the same exact way.

You know if this had been a regular person they would have sat in the ER for 8 hours just to be told it was heart burn.

Okay, do Apprentice, but not any concerts any time soon. Your body and God are trying to tell you something.

I too hope that Bret takes this seriously and gets the message now that he must take care of himself if he wants to be around for his daughters growing up. I pray that he will get well and not let this happen again.

He knew he was playing with fire with all of his drinking & drugging over the years, having type 1 diabetes.

You don't know he was using drugs and you don't know how much he has been drinking. Bet you didn't know that on his MTV shows that fake liquer was used. Bret knows better than to take drugs or drink to much with his condiiton.

I wish he would heed all these warning signs being sent 2 him 2 take it easy. God is certainly sending him signs he needs 2 take it easy & get well. I fear he does not know how 2 & will collapse if he doesnt listen to his body Sad news
