Michaels remains in critical condition, but was conscious and talking with slurred speech after suffering a brain aneurysm, his publicist said on Sunday.

“Bret is a fighter and we are hopeful that once all is complete, the slurred speech, blurred vision and dizziness etc will be eliminated and all functions will return to normal,” the statement added.
