After pulling through a near-death experience back in April, Bret Michaels has another major challenge to get past.

According to Radar Online, after having a stroke, the “Rock of Love” star’s doctors discovered a hole in his heart and he must undergo surgery to repair it which will be sometime in early January.

Apparently, Michaels has had this condition unknowingly since he was born.

A rep for the rocker told Radar, "Is he 100 percent? No, but he's in good spirits, he's having fun on the road, he loves his fans and has always said music heals him."
