Poison Shelves 40th-Anniversary Tour After Pay-Split Dispute

Rockett says talks collapsed over a 6-to-1 split sought by Bret Michaels, a claim Michaels' camp has not addressed.

Overview

  • Rikki Rockett says negotiations fell apart when Bret Michaels pushed for roughly six dollars to every one paid to the other members.
  • Plans for a 2026 run had been hinted at but never formally announced, with C.C. DeVille teasing “Poison tour 2026” on social media.
  • Representatives for Michaels did not respond to requests for comment on the reported pay dispute.
  • Band members are shifting to separate commitments, as Michaels books solo dates and Rockett tours with his side project Rockett Mafia.
  • Rockett reports no personal feud and calls a replacement singer a last resort, while leaving open a possible 2027 try.
