Overview
- Michaels told WPLR the 40th‑anniversary plan was bumped to 2027, saying promoters sought solo answers and the group shifted timelines last summer.
- He rejected Rikki Rockett’s allegation that he sought a $6‑to‑$1 split, saying negotiations never reached money and any deal should be a four‑way discussion.
- Rockett has stood by his account, saying he spoke publicly to stop speculation about health or disinterest and that the holdup is financial.
- Rockett said touring without Michaels is only a reluctant, temporary option and is moving forward with Rockett Mafia shows featuring the debut album.
- Bassist Bobby Dall and guitarist C.C. DeVille have largely stayed out of the dispute; Poison last toured together in 2022 as Michaels books solo dates, including Feb. 6 in Niagara Falls.
