Bret Michaels To Appear On Live 'Celebrity Apprentice' Finale

A few days before Bret Michaels is scheduled to play his first concert since a brain hemorrhage landed him in the intensive care unit, the Poison singer will appear on next Sunday's finale of "The Celebrity Apprentice."

Michaels made the cut on Sunday night's (May 16) edition of the show - taped several months ago - which paved the way for him to make his comeback on this week's live finale, where he will go head-to-head with actress Holly Robinson Peete.

"I came in here as a complete underdog," Michaels said after getting the news on the show. "You know what everyone's mistake was? They so underestimated me!" Michaels made the cut after Sharon Osbourne, chef Curtis Stone and model/wrestler Maria Kanellis were eliminated.

Michaels has been competing on "Celebrity Apprentice" in support of his chosen charity, the American Diabetes Association. The singer, who was diagnosed as a child with Type 1 diabetes, was first sidelined on April 12, when he was rushed to a hospital for an emergency appendectomy. Ten days later, he suffered a brain hemorrhage that kept him in the intensive care unit for two weeks.

After making rapid progress, though, Michaels is in the midst of intensive physical rehab and announced last week that he will make his live return at the Hard Rock Live in Biloxi, Mississippi, on May 28. He is also reportedly set to begin a tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd on June 10 in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Before any of that, though, Michaels will pay a visit to "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Wednesday to discuss his recent health travails.
