Bret Michaels insists he doesn't regret his decision to star in his own reality TV show - because it's boosted his CD sales!
The Poison rocker - who features in VH1's Rock of Love with Bret Michaels – says TV has made him more money than he ever thought possible.
"TV has absolutely made my sales go up, made my tour guarantees go up," he said. "TV has been a great addition to my career. But the key thing is knowing what to walk away from. I advise anyone-especially musicians-to be very careful not to just grab anything they throw your way."
Michaels then explained his decision to take part in Rock of Love.
"I thought that I have three generations of Poison fans, and this would open me up to a whole new generation," he said.
"My fears about the show weren't about music. I turned it down the first time they approached me, because their first idea was very retro.
"They wanted the 1986 Bret Michaels. My fans enjoyed the teased hair, the spandex. It was great, it was the time I lived in. Who knew that spandex tucked into cowboy boots would ever go out of style? But for some strange reason, it did.
I'd progressed forward and I didn't want to go back. I stood up for myself and said, "You need to let me be who I am right now in my life."by fw editor |
