Bret Michaels performed at the Tony Awards, but ended up injured.

Michaels’ spokeswoman says the rock singer had X-rays taken after getting clocked in the head by a descending set piece at the ceremony Sunday at Radio City Music Hall.

Publicist Joann Mignano says Michaels, who performed “Nothin’ But A Good Time” with his 1980s hair-metal band Poison, fractured his nose and got three stitches in his lip. She says he was getting a CAT scan Monday as a precaution, as he’s had a past neck injury.

Although he’s “pretty bruised up,” Mignano says, Michaels was in good spirits. He wiped off blood with a towel and laughed backstage when host Neil Patrick Harris joked that the singer “gave head-banging a whole new meaning.” (Footage of the accident can be seen at YouTube.com.)

Michaels and Poison will perform July 23 in Noblesville with tour mates Def Leppard and Cheap Trick.
