BRET MICHAELS FINALLY ADMITS HE WEARS A WIG… SORT OF

The worst kept secret in rock is that Bret Michaels and his natural hair parted ways long ago. It’s why he’s also wearing those stupid bandannas that went out of style in like 1990 or so. Remember that story about the girl with the thing tied around her neck, and when her husband finally got her to remove it her head fell off? Such is the relationship between the Poison singer and his head gear.

Now, in an interview with the Associated Press, Michaels has come clean… almost:

AP: What are you hiding under that bandanna?

Michaels: My hair is combined of my hair and the finest extensions Europe has to offer. I do [Rock of Love] without it on all the time and they won’t film me. They are like, “Put your bandanna back on. It is your image.” It is my signature thing.

Well, I don’t buy for a second that he offers to let them film him without the bandanna; Slash’s top hat is a “signature thing,” but eighteen gazillion morons wore bandannas in the 80s. Still, I give Bret credit for admitting that it’s not all his real hair; that’s more than you’ll get out of most over-the-hill hair metallers.
