The Poison frontman recently explained what happened during the show and thanked fans for their support throughout the performance.
“Thank you to all my family, friends and fans in the Pittsburgh area and to all at the Hollywood Casino at the Meadows,” Michaels said.
“What an amazing night – even added the extra song of ‘Fallen Angel’ and got to enjoy hometown musicians on stage.”
He also revealed the medical issue that affected his performance near the end of the show.
“Sometimes my diabetes just kicks my butt, my apologies as near the end of the show I had a critical low blood sugar but I gave it everything I had left in the tank, and I powered through to the end,” he continued.
“Will explain tomorrow, thank you for being awesome.”
The latest health incident adds to a long history of medical challenges that Michaels has faced throughout his career. Many of these challenges stem from his lifelong battle with diabetes and other serious conditions.
People Magazine reported that Michaels was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 6. He has experienced severe episodes before, including going into insulin shock during a performance at Madison Square Garden where he collapsed onstage and woke up in the emergency room. That incident marked the first time he publicly revealed his diabetes diagnosis to fans.
