Bret Michaels revealed that he has to undergo surgery after finding a cancerous growth on his skin.

The Poison frontman said he also has to receive treatment for a shoulder injury.

“It has been brought to my attention that I have torn my right shoulder rotator cuff,” Michaels said on his website, “which would answer the question why it looks like a lump or bone was sticking out of my right shoulder. … A little more complex, I will also have to undergo a procedure to remove skin cancer that was detected after a recent biopsy.”

However, Michaels seemed to be staying positive, saying he still wanted to have an “awesome” year. The singer has solo shows scheduled ahead of the Poison’s big stadium tour with Motley Crue, Def Leppard, and Joan Jett.
