Bret Michaels plots 40th anniversary Poison reunion in 2026

Bret Michaels says he wants Poison’s original lineup to play 40 dates in 2026 to celebrate the band’s 40th anniversary.

The glam metal outfit haven’t toured since a 2022 trek with Def Leppard and Motley Crue. A rumoured 2025 tour has been ruled out by Michaels and drummer Rikki Rockett, with the vocalist saying he needs to focus on his health.

But it looks as though 2026 could be the year fans get to see Michaels, Rockett, C.C DeVille, and Bobby Dall in action again.

In a social media post, Michaels says: “It’s no secret, I have stated previously that in 2025 I’m planning to perform limited shows to focus primarily on health, starting with my diabetes, which needs a tune-up.

“Not to mention a little R&R, as everyone knows my tireless work ethic and passion for performing music, as well as some much-needed personal family time.

“Like I recently stated, I’m like a classic muscle car – still fast and still fun to drive, just need a little more maintenance.

“However, in 2026, I’m excited to say it will be Poison’s 40th anniversary since the release of Look What the Cat Dragged In in 1986, so it would make perfect sense to have the possibility of a reunion in 2026.

“In my opinion, it would be the perfect 40th anniversary tour, with 40 awesome limited dates to go out, play real live hit songs and rock the world.”

While he is clear about what he’d like to do, Michaels admits there’s a lot of work to be done for the tour to happen.

He adds: “None of this is confirmed and it takes much coordination and planning to have a successful tour, good things happen in 4’s for Poison — 4 original band members, 40th anniversary, 40 limited dates, Parti-Gras 4.0 and May the 4s be with you!”

FROM A WOMAN WHO OWNED HORSES IN TENNESSEE… TO A LEGEND HONORED AT THE KENNEDY CENTER In Hurricane Mills, Loretta Lynn walked through open fields, not red carpets. Her mornings smelled like hay, not perfume. She owned horses because they kept her close to the life she came from — quiet, honest, and unafraid of dirt on her boots. The world called her a star. The horses only knew her footsteps. Then one night, she left the ranch and entered the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Chandeliers replaced barn lights. Applause replaced hoofbeats. She wore a gown instead of denim. But the voice inside her was the same girl from coal country. The Kennedy Center Honors is not about fame. It is about meaning. And Loretta’s songs meant survival, womanhood, and truth. From horses that carried her body… to songs that carried a nation. She didn’t leave the country behind. She brought it with her.

THE CROWD NEVER EXPECTED THIS — AND IT DIDN’T COME FROM THE SETLIST. Backstage, the roar of the arena sounded far away as Carrie Underwood knelt in front of her son, smoothing his jacket, lowering her voice to a whisper: “Just breathe.” Out there, more than 18,000 people were waiting for a superstar moment — fireworks, high notes, the kind of performance they’d paid to remember. What they got instead was something no one saw coming. A small boy stepped into the light. He didn’t scan the crowd. He didn’t search for cameras. He looked for one face — his dad, Mike Fisher, sitting quietly in the front row. His voice trembled when he began to sing. It wasn’t polished. It wasn’t perfect. But it was real. Carrie’s piano stayed unusually soft, almost protective, each note placed carefully behind him like a steady hand saying keep going. Mike tried to smile. He couldn’t. The tears came before the song was over. By the final note, the arena had changed. People weren’t cheering yet. Some were holding their breath. Others were wiping their eyes, unsure why their throats felt tight. When it ended, there was no bow. No wave. No big finish. Just a family finding each other onstage — and thousands of people realizing, all at once, that they weren’t witnessing a performance at all. They were witnessing a moment.
