Poison star Bret Michaels is planning to make a movie about his life.

The rocker, who owns a film production company with actor Charlie Sheen, wants to put together a film to tell his story, starting from his childhood in Pittsburgh and documenting his rise to fame with his band Poison.

The movie will also touch on the health troubles he has suffered over the last few years, including a near-fatal brain haemorrhage in 2010 and heart surgery last year.

He tells The Columbus Dispatch, "I want to tell the story. Mostly, when you see rock movies, it has to be this over-the-top thing. I want to give people a Bret Michaels movie where they see that my life is a comedy of errors. I also want to show my fans how to get through the kind of troubles that would leave most people flat on the floor."
