It seems as though the panic involving Bret Michaels' nose has died down, and the rock star himself has loosened up about
the whole Tony Awards incident. He recently talked to
People magazine and described what happened to him, even joking around about it. According to the Poison frontman, one way to explain a set piece hitting him on the face is this: "I got my bell rung!"
The 46-year-old
Rock of Love star admitted that the accident was indeed a bit grave for an awards show, but he's learned to just let it go and accept that it happened. "All in all, I'd like to think I feel okay," he told the publication. "But I got to be honest with you, I feel pretty beat up."
