A former frontman for rock group Poison he performed the band's hit song "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" with finalist Casey James. Michaels, who won this season's "Celebrity Apprentice" show last Sunday, suffered a brain hemorrhage in April.

I don't follow idol like I used to but this was Simon's last show. Lee Dewyze emerged winner beating out Crystal Bowersox who got second place.
