Bret Michaels (born Bret Michael Sychak, March 15, 1963) is an American musician, actor, director, screenwriter, producer and reality television personality. He first gained fame as the lead vocalist of the glam metal band Poison. Besides his career as lead singer, he has several solo albums to his credit, as well as one chart single. He appeared in the VH1 reality show ''Rock of Love with Bret Michaels'' and its sequels, and as a judge on the talent show ''Nashville Star''. He was the winning contestant on NBC's reality show ''Celebrity Apprentice 3''.

Early life

Michaels was born Bret Michael Sychak, to Wally and Marjorie Sychak, north of Pittsburgh in the city of Butler, Pennsylvania. He has two sisters, Michelle and Nicole. He claims that his parents had originally intended for him to have the middle name "Maverick", after the title character in the popular James Garner TV Western series Maverick. He is of Carpatho-Rusyn descent.

At the age of six he fell ill, and during a three-week stay in the hospital, he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

Music career

Michaels began playing the guitar as a teenager. With drummer Rikki Rockett, bass player Bobby Dall and guitarist Matt Smith, he formed the band Paris, in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania in 1983. After playing the Pennsylvania bar circuit, in early 1984 they moved to Los Angeles to seek fame on the Sunset Boulevard scene, eventually changing their name to Poison. That same year he met 16-year-old Tracy Lewis, who would become both his girlfriend, and the muse for one of his most memorable songs. Eventually Matt Smith tired of the band's struggle to find fame, and returned home. He was replaced with C.C. DeVille, who would become both Michaels' friend and a source of conflict.

1980s – 1990s

Local publicity about the band eventually led to a record deal with Enigma Records, and their first album, ''Look What the Cat Dragged In''. It did not see great success until 1987, when Michaels convinced the band to film a video for their song, "Talk Dirty to Me." The album went platinum, and the band became famous. In March of that year, however, Michaels collapsed onstage due to his diabetes. Responding to rumors that he was a drug addict, he announced publicly that he was a diabetic.

1987 also saw the dissolution of his relationship with Lewis, who felt that fame had changed him. Though Michaels contends that Lewis was unfaithful to him, Lewis (now Lewis Crosby) insists that it was Michaels who was unfaithful. Michaels was inspired by the breakup to write "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", explaining that the rose represented his fame and success, whereas the loss of his relationship represented the thorn. The song was released as a power ballad single in December 1988, and is regarded as "the ultimate 80s anthem about heartbreak."

Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s Poison became one of the biggest glam metal bands in the world, recording their second album, the multi-platinum selling ''Open Up and Say... Ahh!'', and their third album, the multi-platinum selling ''Flesh & Blood''. However, their lives were characterized by the escalating tension between Michaels and DeVille that derived from their mutual drug use, which came to a head during their 1990/91 "Flesh and Blood" world tour. Also cited is the spectacle of DeVille's behavior during the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards. After getting into a fistfight with Michaels, DeVille left the band, and descended further into addiction. Poison went on with new guitarist Richie Kotzen recording the album Native Tongue and then with guitarist Blues Saraceno recording the album Crack a Smile... and More!. In the mid 1990s, after a night of partying, Michaels came close to dying when he crashed his Ferrari into a telephone pole. He incurred serious injury, including broken ribs, a disfigured nose and lost teeth. In 1999, reunited with original guitarist C.C. Deville, Poison went on a successful greatest hits reunion tour. In the next decade Bret Michaels would split his time between Poison and a successful solo career.

It was further reported that his condition is "operable and treatable" and his doctors believe they "have diagnosed the problem that caused the transient ischemic attack (TIA) or warning stroke", but that they "feel it is highly unlikely this is connected to the brain hemorrhage he suffered just a few weeks earlier".

"Sight For Sore Eyes" is the tenth overall single from the British band M People released as the lead single from multi-platinum album ''Bizarre Fruit''.Written by Mike Pickering, Paul Heard and Heather Small and Produced by M People. It was released on 5 November 1994. The song peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart.

Background

The band had scored four consecutive Top 10 singles from the previous album Elegant Slumming and toured the UK and Europe twice, but over the summer of 1994, worked quickly and resolutely to continue their sizeable success, recording new album Bizarre Fruit, and the first fruits of their labour were in the form of Sight for Sore Eyes.

Composition

The song was recorded at the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm, London. The songs starts with a gospel-esque ‘harmonized’ warm up by the backing vocalists accompanied with a building piano with lead vocals by the unmistakable voice of Heather Small. The key refrain #“Ain’t love, ain’t love, ain’t love a surprise”# is bellowed by Heather and then of key elements are introduced most notably synths and a subtle allegro acenato (quick and accentuated) piano movement during the verses with Heather vocals more prominent than on previous singles. In the chorus breaks an Italo-House style chord progression and sequenced bleeps granulizer synths lead up to the verses. Like One Night in Heaven, the melody line is guided by the insistently infectious deep moog bassline, programmed drumming, percussion drumming and layered high hat synths and a four to the floor house beat. This is underlined by subtle strings and euphoric chords during the actual choruses. The Italo House style is most punctuated during the middle –eight piano-break.

Chart performance

Like previous single, Sight for Sore Eyes became the fifth consecutive single to enter the Top 10. It also, for only the second time since One Night in Heaven seventeen months previous, promptly climbed the next week. It is the only the second M People single to climb within the Top 10. It entered the chart at number 8 and following huge club support and some major performances on British television, most notably Top of the Pops saw a massive surge in sales to then peak in its second week at number 6.

A lot of pressure was on the first single of the new album, to continue in the success of Renaissance which peaked at 5, but in two weeks the single sold over 150,000 copies, to not only continue but surpass previous successes and Sight for Sore Eyes became M People’s third biggest selling single, behind Moving on Up and One Night in Heaven.

The single entered the chart at number 8 with sales of 79,000 copies in its first week and another 89,000 copies in its second week to rise and peak at number 6 and a further 63,000 in its third week to chart at number 9. The single spent three weeks in the Top 10 and chart positions went from number 8 to 6 to 9 to 17 to 20 to 26 to 27 to 43 to 71. This single spent nine weeks on the chart and left in early January 1995.

Airplay

Sight for Sore Eyes was serviced to radio five weeks before physical release on Monday 1st October as the eagerly awaited brand new song to continue the unbroken string of five consecutive top 5 Airplay hits. Radio was quick to play the single, with Top supporters in the being the Capital Radio group, Galaxy and BBC Radio 1, who all placed the song on their A-List/Single if the Week. By the end of week one on airplay, the single had become the highest new entry being played 539 times on UK Radio placing it straight in at Number 45.

Growing anticipation of the new album and the very radio friendly sound propelled the single up the airplay chart and received plaudits form DJs, as a result the single climbed from 45 to 31 to 19 to 9 to the week before release. At this point the song peaked at number 3 on airplay for two weeks and stayed in the top 10 for another three weeks becoming a firm radio favourite. It then took another ten weeks to leave the Airplay Top 75 which meant it was still being heavily played when its successor Open Your Heart was released to radio. This had only happened once before with One Night in Heaven and Moving on Up and would happen again with future singles Just for You and Fantasy Island.

Music video

It features the four main members of the band who are performing to the song throughout, accompanied by Andy Gangadeen on drums, Paul Johnson and Lynieve Austin on backing vocals. Within the studio, there are two main colour themes, red and blue. And the starting shot of empty cars leaned up against each other and twelve people dressed in dark mechanic overalls with their backs facing the camera all dancing up against the cars in the background. To the fore, is Heather dancing on the spot and very much reflecting the general happy mood of the video, surrounded by her band mates: Mike Pickering on guitar, Paul Heard on first and second keyboard and Shovell on Bongos.

To incorporate the overall metal theme of the new album there are cutaways of sparks flying as metalwork is carried out mechanics and close ups of booted-feet dancing to the music.

The video was filmed entirely in a North London studio, by the legendary British photographer and film director Terence Donovan, and filmed in one day on September 29, 1994. Donovan had taken several promotional photos of the band for merchandise and tours between 1994-1996 and was considered a very good friend of the band. They dedicated their next album Fresco (1997) to him following his untimely death.

Live performances

When performed live, Sight for Sore Eyes gets arguably one of the largest rapturous audience responses, alongside One Night in Heaven, Moving on Up and Search for the Hero. During the Bizarre Fruit, Bizarre Fruit II tours as well as T in the Park in 1995 proved to be an enormous crowd pleaser played with additional Percussion obligato by Shovell in the middle eight break to add to the Italo-House style. Some additional rhythm guitar and saxophone ad-libs are also played throughout and during the Italo-house break towards the latter half of the song is greeted by audience whoops.

Remixes/B-sides

At the time of release only one remix of the single was readily available by the Hed Boys and their ‘Post Op’ Mix, a much sought after E-Smoove Mix was being heavily rotated on the dance floor but was not made available for general issue until it featured on CD2 of successor single Open Your Heart nearly three months later.

The B-side was album track ‘Sugartown’ providing people with a sampler as to what the album may sound like showing that M People could also do a funk Soul song with a melodic groove.

William Gary Busey (born June 29, 1944), best known as Gary Busey, is an American film and stage actor and artist. He has appeared in over 120 films, as well as making regular appearances on ''Gunsmoke'', ''Walker, Texas Ranger'', ''Law & Order'', and ''Entourage''. He received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in 1978 for his role in ''The Buddy Holly Story''.

Early life

Busey was born in Goose Creek (now Baytown), Texas, the son of Sadie Virginia (née Arnett), a homemaker, and Delmer Lloyd Busey, a construction design manager. He graduated from Nathan Hale High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1962. While attending Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, in southeastern Kansas, on a football scholarship, he became interested in acting. He then transferred to Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, where he quit school just one class short of graduation.

Career

Busey began his show-business career as a drummer in The Rubber Band. He appears on several Leon Russell recordings, credited as playing drums under the names "Teddy Jack Eddy" and "Sprunk", a character he created when he was a cast member of a local television comedy show in Tulsa, Oklahoma, called ''The Uncanny Film Festival and Camp Meeting'' (which starred fellow Tulsan Gailard Sartain as "Dr. Mazeppa Pompazoidi"). He played in a band called Carp, who released one album on Epic Records in 1969. Busey continued to play several small roles in both film and television during the 1970s. In 1975, as the character "Harvey Daley," he was the last person killed on the series ''Gunsmoke'' (in the antepenultimate episode, No. 633 – "The Los Carnales").

In 1976 he was hired by Barbra Streisand and her producer-boyfriend Jon Peters to play Bobby Ritchie, Road Manager to Kris Kristofferson's character in the remake film ''A Star is Born''. On the DVD commentary of the film, Streisand says Busey was great and that she had seen him on a TV series and thought he had the right qualities to play the role.

In 1978, he starred as Buddy Holly in ''The Buddy Holly Story'' with Sartain as The Big Bopper. The movie earned Busey an Academy Award nomination and the National Society of Film Critics' Best Actor award. In the film, he changes the lyrics to the song "Well All Right" and sings, "We're gonna love Teddy Jack..." a reference to his Teddy Jack Eddy persona. In the same year he also starred in the surfing movie ''Big Wednesday''.

In the 1980s, Busey's roles included ''Silver Bullet'', ''Barbarosa'', ''Insignificance'' and ''Lethal Weapon''. In the movie ''D.C. Cab'', Busey portrayed the character Dell. At one point, Dell is singing along with a cassette recording of Busey singing the song "Why Baby Why" (which Busey recorded, but still remains unreleased). In the 1990s, he appeared in ''Predator 2'', ''Rookie of the Year'', ''Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'', ''Under Siege'', ''The Firm'', ''Lost Highway'', ''Point Break'' and ''Black Sheep''.

Busey sang the song "Stay All Night" on ''Saturday Night Live'' in March 1979, and on the ''Late Show with David Letterman'' in the 1990s.

In 2002, Busey voiced the character Phil Cassidy in ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City'', then again in ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories'' in 2006. He also voiced himself on a 2005 episode of ''The Simpsons'', narrating an informational video about restraining orders.

Busey appeared in the 2006 Turkish film ''Valley of the Wolves Iraq,'' (Kurtlar Vadisi: Irak, in Turkish). The film, accused of anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism, tells the story of the U.S. Army run amok in Iraq and brought into check by a brave Turkish soldier; Busey plays a Jewish-American Army doctor who harvests fresh organs from injured Iraqi prisoners to sell to rich patients in New York City, London and Tel Aviv. In 2007, he appeared as himself on HBO's ''Entourage.'' Producers at HBO asked Busey to play a "character" on the show who was the self-named actor who is also a famous painter and sculptor.

In 2008, he joined the second season of the reality show ''Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew''. Per his contract and VH1's press release, he was to be part of the mentoring team and not a patient. Drew Pinsky has expressed a different opinion, saying that he can help by being in group meetings with others and is not part of the staff, but part of the patients of this second season. Busey returned to reality television in ''Celebrity Apprentice 4'', which premiered in March 2011,

In a series of 2010 YouTube advertisements for Vitamin Water, Busey appears as Norman Tugwater, a lawyer who defends professional athletes' entitlements to a cut from Fantasy Football team owners.

The following year, he was let go from the horror movie ''Mansion of Blood'' after filming half his scenes, due what his publicist, Michael Conley, called "contractual issues and misunderstandings."

Personal life

Family

In 1971, Busey's wife Judy Helkenberg gave birth to their son, William Jacob Busey, now known as actor Jake Busey. Busey and Judy divorced when Jake was nineteen.

Busey has a daughter named Alectra from a previous relationship.

On December 9, 2009, it was announced that Gary Busey and girlfriend Steffanie Sampson were expecting their first child in May 2010. On February 23, 2010, their son Luke Sampson Busey was born.

Motorcycle accident and brain damage

On December 4, 1988, Busey was severely injured in a motorcycle accident in which he was not wearing a helmet. His skull was fractured, and doctors feared he suffered permanent brain damage.

At the recommendation of Dr. Drew Pinsky, Busey was seen by psychiatrist Dr. Charles Sophy. Sophy suspected that Busey's brain injury has had a greater effect on him than realized. He described it as essentially weakening his mental "filters" and causing him to speak and act impulsively. He recommended Busey take a medication called Depakote, to which he agreed.

Legal issues

In May 1995, Busey was arrested for cocaine possession after being hospitalized for an overdose of cocaine and GHB.

On August 20, 1997, Busey was accused of pushing a stewardess who bumped him on a flight to Las Vegas. Upon the flight's landing, he was questioned by police, but no charges were filed.

On January 25, 1999, Busey was arrested after a fight with his wife. He was released on bail.

On December 2, 2001, Busey was again arrested for spousal abuse after his ex-wife Tiani Warden called authorities, complaining he left her bruised. Busey was released on $50,000 bail.

On September 7, 2004, Busey's landlord filed a lawsuit to evict him because Busey had refused to pay his rent for about three months.

On Sept 23, 2004, Busey was arrested for showing up late to a spousal support court hearing. His lawyer bailed him out two-and-a-half hours later.
