“It all goes down to the point that we want him to take a break but that’s not in his character, he goes and goes and goes and that’s the joy of his life," Sychak said. She adds that the May 26 date is a hopeful estimate and her brother's doctors have yet to give their official greenlight. For now, they are taking things week by week and focus on other aspects of Michaels' life.

"I think anybody that has to face the reality of losing their life has to face that decision. One of the biggest concerns was his kids. You're not worried about the next concert date, you're worried if your gonna see your daughters again," she added.
"He is just now starting to go through the physical therapy part of it. He works out every single day and for the last three weeks he has been just laying in bed. There’s a lot of atrophy so just getting himself back is going to be a challenge."

"We all push ourselves too much and that’s human nature. I’ve asked him and said, 'Don’t you think its time to take a break?' His mind set is I'll take a break when I can’t do this anymore.’"

"His career is once again skyrocketing, he has some things he wants to do and then I think he’ll take a break," Sychak added. "He is very driven & motivated and it’s what some may call a workaholic. He’s wanted to do this since he was thirteen years old."
Sychak also fired back at allegations that Michaels' team is pressuring him return to touring: "Bret is very much in control of Bret."

Gosh, even on the apprentice after 2hours of sleep he was running up and down 18 flights of stairs. I pray he will have a speedy recovery but also, he will stop pushing his body after this scare. He deserves to win "Apprentice".

if his fans really care about him, they would start a petition asking him NOT to return to touring for at least a year. Other than that, they are being selfish. This man needs to take care of himself and not be jumping all over the place.

Bret, listen to your doctors!! Internal wounds heal a lot slower than the external ones, you are not out of the woods just because you are feeling better. Take it slow so that your children can enjoy you for many more years.

Watching my hubby struggle for years after severe brain injury (not lucky recovery like Bret)- I wish I could tell Bret to take the HUGE HINT that his body gave him that it's time for a break. His kids need him more than his fans. We'll wait! HEAL!

He was worrid that he wouldn't see his daughters again...yet now he's willing to resume touring with all the physical toll that's going to take? Is he nuts?! I hope his doctors put their foot down and save him from such a bad decision!

He's a stupid jerk who is fooling the world, pretending to be such a nice guy... his hard partying put his health in limbo, no sympathy for this womanizing druggie idiot.

Can't blame Bret for wanting to as they say "strike while the iron's hot" but it would do him good to rest but he won't because as his sister says it's part of his personality. He has shown his great business sense on The Apprentice.
