The Poison frontman, 63, shared an update from his hospital bed via Facebook on Wednesday, telling his followers that he’s learned “complete gratitude” for the hospital workers who helped care for him this week.

Michaels was taken to the hospital when the stone “would not pass” after seven days of waiting as the “pain became too much,” he shared.

“The pain became intense but, as usual, I played through Charleston [West Virginia], Grantville, [Pennsylvania], and a special private show at Fairchild AFB in Spokane for veterans, active duty and their families,” he wrote, adding that he was hospitalized “immediately, the next day” after his Spokane appearance.

“The operation has been done and is complete & I’m out of post-op recovery, and I’m doing everything within my power to feel better and continue playing great shows for great fans when I’ve got a complete clean bill of health.”

Michaels then expanded on his earlier “WisdomWednesday” lesson, noting that he’s “wise enough to know how important family, friends, fans, doctors and nurses play such a vital role in our everyday health.”

He is next expected to hit the stage July 31st in Belleville, Illinois, as part of his string of North American shows. The slate of performances is scheduled to run through September.
