NEW YORK — Bret Michaels says he’s not 100 percent healthy yet but is looking forward to going back on the road and performing.

Despite life-threatening illness, the 47-year-old rocker appeared on the season finale of “The Celebrity Apprentice” on Sunday night and was rewarded with $250,000 for charity.

The Poison frontman’s appearance had been in question after he suffered a brain hemorrhage in April and was hospitalized recently after what doctors called a warning stroke. He faces surgery for a hole in his heart.

In an appearance this morning on NBC’s “Today” show, Michaels says he’s not back “100 percent yet” but that he’s going “to do a show and see how it goes.”

He says “I’m ready to rock and we’ll see what happens.”
