In a new interview with New York radio station Q104.3, POISON frontman Bret Michaels touched on the possibility of a tour to commemorate the band's debut album 'Look What the Cat Dragged In', which turns 41 in 2027.
When asked about his hopes for revisiting POISON's past successes, Michaels stated: "It was, I gotta tell you, 40 awesome years.
And honest to God, I hope to God that… I love the Bret Michaels [solo] band.
I'm grateful for C.C.
[DeVille, POISON guitarist] and Rikki [Rockett, POISON drummer] and Bobby [Dall, POISON bassist] and POISON.
And maybe in the next year or two, we put together the most incredible POISON tour as well.
But right now, [I am on the road with my solo band as part of the] 'Live & Amplified' [tour], and we're killing it.
And we're just having fun.
I'm enjoying every bit of music and just being out there and loving a great time on the road.", Michaels also addressed the controversy surrounding his alleged demand for $6 in profits per dollar earned by each of his bandmates, stating: "Well, I'm gonna answer that honestly.
It never happened.
We never got to that part of negotiations." The interview comes after POISON's original plans for a 40th-anniversary tour were reportedly scrapped due to disagreements over finances, with guitarist Rikki Rockett claiming in an interview earlier this month that Michaels had demanded too much money and pulled out of the deal.
Despite these setbacks, POISON remains active, with their most recent stint supporting MĂ–TLEY CRĂśE and DEF LEPPARD on a massive stadium tour in 2022.
