Ever since the Poison singer got clotheslined (and nearly beheaded) by a massive set change at the Tony Awards a few weeks ago, questions have lingered….

Will he sue the Tonys?

Will he go after host Neil Patrick Harris for cracking on him immediately after getting flattened?

When the bandages come off, will he be worth fighting over anymore on VH-1’s “Rock of Love” craptastic reality show?

Will people ever stop watching this video?

And, of course: Will he live to play the Sonoma-Marin Fair this Saturday?

Last week, the Poison singer canceled a handful of gigs, offering this excuse in an official statement from his agent:

“We at Michaels Entertainment Group want everyone to understand that through Bret’s 25 year career it has been extraordinarily rare and only under extreme conditions that Mr. Michaels has had to reschedule a performance.

“He has been shot at, had broken bones, severe lacerations and contusion not to mention crucial high and low blood sugar levels due to his condition as a juvenile diabetic yet has always done his best to make his way to the stage. The trauma caused by the now infamous accident at the Tony’s continues to take its toll on Mr. Michaels throat as well as other physical conditions.”

Well, it turns out the show must go on. His agent confirmed today that he’ll warm up his throat in Stockton on Wednesday and then roll through the fair Saturday night, picking up the scraps after the Ugly Dog Contest.

And don’t forget BOB FM is throwing a contest for diehard big-hair fans vying for a ride on the River Rock of Love Bus (aka “the Blondetourage” escapade) that will truck in fans for the VIP fairgrounds experience.

If only it was 1988.

Sing along: “Every rose has its thorn…just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song.”

Also, this weekend:

A sweaty gaggle of axe-less chaps take the stage to shred their hearts out for the U.S. Air Guitar Championships tonight and Saturday at The Independent in San Francisco. Sorry, the Air Sex Championships were Wednesday. 9 p.m. $18.

Taking a break from the studio, The Mother Hips drop in tonight at Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastopol. Look for the new song “Childish Dreams” that they released back in April on a split 7-inch vinyl single with The Bees. 9:30 p.m. $20.

The 808 Band and Robert Herrera unload their debut album “Natural Selection” at a CD release party Saturday night at Russian River Brewing Company in Santa Rosa. Free. All ages. Check out the new tunes here.
