Bret Michaels has suffered a serious setback on his road to recovery, after being hospitalized with a small “warning stroke” Thursday.

MRI and CT scans also revealed Michaels has a hole in his heart. Both conditions are said to be treatable unrelated to the subarachnoic hemorrhage he suffered last month.

The reality TV and “Poison” frontman was admitted to hospital after experiencing numbness on the left side of his body, face and hands.

Michaels is said to be in great spirits and up, walking and talking.
