Poison 40th Anniversary Tour Update: Bret Michaels and Rikki Rockett Discuss Financial Disagreements and Future Reunion Possibilities
Bret Michaels recently addressed the situation regarding a potential Poison 40th-anniversary tour that fell through due to financial disagreements. Michaels expressed his excitement for upcoming events and hinted at a dream NFL concert. He also emphasized his love for music, fans, and the possibility of a future Poison reunion.
In response to Michaels' post, Poison drummer Rikki Rockett expressed his enthusiasm for a potential reunion. Rockett previously revealed that discussions about the tour broke down due to financial issues, with Michaels allegedly demanding a larger share of the money. Despite the band's willingness to participate, the financial disparity made it impossible to move forward with the tour.
Poison, formed in 1983, released their debut album in 1986. Michaels had previously expressed hope for a 2026 tour to celebrate the band's 40th anniversary. The future of a Poison reunion remains uncertain, but both Michaels and Rockett have shown interest in the possibility.
