Poison plan 2026 comeback

OHMYGOSSIP — Poison will make a comeback in 2026.
The ‘Every Rose Has Its Thorn’ group have worked sporadically over the last 15 years and last toured in 2022 with Def Leppard, but drummer Rikki Rockett – who has been with the band since they formed in 1983 – has confirmed they will be getting back together not too far into the future.
Rikki appeared on SiriusXM’s ‘Trunk Nation’, where host Eddie Trunk said: “When I announced on socials about a week ago when I knew you were going to come on today.
“Bret sent me a text – Bret Michaels – a day or two ago, and he said, ‘Hey, I hear you’re gonna have Rockett on. Send him my love and tell him Poison 2026.’”
The 63-year-old musician confirmed: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. ’26 is for sure gonna happen.
“I mean, unless some unforeseen thing happens, but all band members have stuck their hand in and said, ‘Yeah, we’re definitely doing it – without a doubt.’ ”
Frontman Bret – who has enjoyed a successful solo career away from the group – announced earlier this year he would be taking “most, if not all, of 2025 off” due to “physical adversity”.
He said in a statement in March: “I’ve always stated that music is a universal language that is meant to unite us, excite us and never divide us. It is a soundtrack to our everyday lives and I truly look forward to giving every bit of energy I’ve got in 2024 and leave it all up there on the stage every night.
“However, in 2025, in light of some recent medical results and setbacks, and with much discussion and real advice from my doctors and family, I will be taking most, if not all, of 2025 off, except for a few select dates with both the BRET MICHAELS BAND and possibly all-original POISON.
“I truly need to recharge the batteries and get a good, much-needed physical tune-up.
“Please always understand that I am forever grateful to the fans and hope you understand that this will bring me back in 2026 and beyond to be able to always give 1000% on that stage with positive energy and an Unbroken Warrior Spirit!”
