Bret was a patient at the hospital after he suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage, a life-threatening stroke, in April, 2010.

“I want to give something back to the hospital that helped save my life,” said Michaels. “Phoenix is my home and I’m proud to be a part of this community.”

The Bret Michaels Hospitality and Music Room will include listening stations and a relaxation area for patients and their families. “It will be warm and hip,” he says.

“This room will be a very welcome addition for the families of our patients,” said St. Joseph’s President and CEO Linda Hunt. “Bret has demonstrated that he is a good friend to this hospital in several ways and we thank him.”

I could go to a James Taylor show just for the stories. The man is a part of music history and is still around to tell the tales of how it all began. Like, for instance, being the first artist signed to Apple Records. James “auditioned” for Apple with his song ‘Something In The Way She Moves’. "Paul went away and started the label and George went away and wrote the song”, he said.
