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!”

Paul McCartney stood ready at Abbey Road, trying to keep the session alive, while John Lennon sat in silence with his guitar untouched. The contrast said everything — one man pushing forward, the other quietly pulling away. In that moment in 1968, The Beatles were no longer unstoppable, but fragile, suspended between motion and collapse. What threatened the band wasn’t an argument, but a silence heavy enough to stop the music itself. Paul kept suggesting, adjusting, insisting the rehearsal go on.

HE NEVER TAKES OFF HIS HAT IN PUBLIC — EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE TIME. “I’ve been running from getting old for years,” he said softly, “but it finally caught me.” Alan Jackson has always stood as the image of quiet strength — white Stetson low, emotions hidden behind songs instead of speeches. But as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease slowly began affecting his balance, fans noticed the change long before he spoke about it. During a hometown show in Georgia, the air felt different. Near the end of the night, instead of his usual wave goodbye, Alan paused. Slowly, he lifted his hat — a rare gesture that stilled the room instantly. Beneath it were tired eyes, honest and unguarded, no longer shielded by the icon people had always seen. He bowed — not dramatically, just quietly — as if laying something down no one else could see. The crowd didn’t cheer right away. They stood still, knowing this wasn’t just the end of a show. It felt like watching time itself take a breath… and a cowboy finally admitting the road had been long enough.
