Bret Michaels has suffered what doctors call a "warning stroke," or a transient ischemic attack, according to his Web site. 


The rocker, 47 — who is still recovering from a brain hemorrhage — was "readmitted to the hospital this week after suffering numbness on the left side of his body, predominately his face and hands," according to a statement posted on his site. 

While undergoing tests — including an MRI and CT scan — doctors also discovered he has a hole in his heart.
