You can’t take down rock and roll — and a hole in the heart can’t take Bret Michaels.

The 47-year-old singer was released from the hospital just two days following surgery to repair a hole in his heart, which was discovered last May after Bret had a small stroke. Now, he’s resting comfortably at home with his family and is doing just fine.

A source (friend of family) reports:

“Bret is recuperating at home with his family,”

“He is looking forward to enjoying time with Kristi and his daughters as well as getting back on the road.”

Better take it slow, old man!

Bret’s doctor at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix had nothing but positive things to say about Bret’s surgery and road to recovery.

Dr. Mansour Assar said that Michaels procedure:

“had excellent results”

and

“Because of the successful outcome and Bret’s determination, I believe he will be able to return to normal activity within weeks.”

Great news, especially since Bret just proposed to his sixteen year girlfriend, Kristi Gibson!
