Bret Michaels: the Bad Boy Throughout the Years (PHOTO GALLERY)

Bret Michaels has already lived the kind of life that would make for a great rock 'n' roll biopic. The singer left his blue collar Pennsylvania town in 1984 to chase his dream of musical stardom down on the streets of Hollywood, Calif. with Poison. After the group conquered the local club circuit, Poison eventually secured a record deal and they would go on to become one of the biggest acts of the late '80s.

Since then, Michaels has become a hugely successful television star, with several reality shows on his resume. This year, he'll be joining the cast of Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice All-Stars and he'll be releasing his fourth solo album.

This upcoming Sunday, Michaels will be hosting AOL's live coverage of the Grammy Awards via an online chat. The live blog kicks off 7:15 EST, Sunday night on AOL.com.

To celebrate his upcoming AOL chat, Noisecreep compiled some cool photos of Michaels from his colorful career.
