Bret Michaels shared a health update with fans and revealed a recent biopsy detected skin cancer.

Michaels published the news via his official website where he wrote the following:

"After a very recent kickoff to the new year, physical & MRI, it has been brought to my attention that I have torn my right shoulder rotator cuff 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. I’m in the hands of incredible specialists who are both positive for great outcomes. It may slow me down a bit at the beginning of the year, but if God willing I promise this year will be awesome. Just a few less solo shows & special events until I get this all squared up. As always continuing great diabetic maintenance to keep on rocking in 2020!"

Michaels and Poison are part of the highly-anticipated Stadium Tour with Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. It appears Michaels' treatment won't affect his participation of the tour.

We send our best wishes to Michaels for a speedy recovery.
