Music News: Bret Michaels Addresses Poison Reunion
Bret Michaels is hoping to reunite Poison for a tour in 2027 after the band’s previous plans were scrapped.
The band – which last toured in 2022 with Def Leppard – was planning to make a return this year with a series of big headline gigs but drummer Rikki Rockett recently claimed they gave up on the plan because singer Bret wanted the “lion’s share†of the cash.
However, Bret is adamant a reunion is still on the cards and he’s penciled in next year as the time to hit the road. During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, he explained: “We’re hoping for ’27, ’cause I know it’s a big question. I think – I really strongly think ’27, without going into details yet, is going to be a good reunion year for Poison. I think it’s gonna be awesome.â€
When asked about Rikki’s claims the 2026 tour was derailed by a dispute over money, Bret said: “Most people like the drama. I’m an anti-drama guy. I love the guys. I think ’27 is gonna be great.
“Rikki is my brother. And you’re allowed to agree and you’re allowed to disagree, but we’re gonna go out there and make it an incredible [tour], honestly.â€
Rikki – who has been with the band since they formed in 1983 – previously claimed the band called off the 2026 reunion because of Bret’s demands for extra cash.
He told New York Post column PageSix: “We had a great offer, I thought. But we left the table. It didn’t work. Really what it came to was C.C., [bass player] Bobby [Dall] and I were all in, and I thought Bret was, but he wanted the lion’s share of the money, to the point where it makes it not possible to even do it.†“It’s like $6 to every one of our dollars. You just can’t work that way.†“I don’t do this just for the money. I do have a love for this, absolutely. But at the same time, you don’t want to go out and work really hard just to make somebody else a bunch of money.â€
