Back in 2024, Poison drummer (and Mechanicsburg native) Rikki Rockett said that the band was planning to reunite and tour in 2026 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their debut album, “Look What the Cat Dragged In.”

“Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. ’26 is for sure gonna happen,” he said at the time. “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.’”

Now, however, he’s saying the opposite.

During an interview with Robert Edwards of Talkin’ Bout Rock, Rockett said no plans had been made so far for he and the other members of Poison — Bret Michaels (vocals), Bobby Dall (bass) and C.C. DeVille (guitar) — to go on tour.

“I’ll set the record straight as far as Poison touring: at this point in time, there is nothing on the books for a 2026 40th-anniversary tour,” Rockett said, per Blabbermouth. “And I said it months ago when we got presented a contract from Live Nation to go on tour [next year]. C.C., Bobby and I agreed. We thought it was great. We thought the money was great. We thought the lay of the land looked great. And then Bret looked at it and has not agreed to anything. So literally that is where we’re at.”

Rockett then suggested part of the issue might have to do with preferred touring schedules.

“I’m not trying to bash Bret. I’m not trying to start any fights,” he said. “But one thing you have to understand is, for instance, the Bret Michaels [solo] band tours very differently from the way Poison tours. Poison tours the way Def Leppard and Motley Crue and Luke Bryan or whoever [tours], where we basically kiss our families goodbye for three-plus months, or however long it’s gonna be, and go out on a tour bus and trucks, and we’re playing five nights a week, sometimes six nights a week.

“And that’s not how Bret tours. He does weekend-warrior stuff, which there’s nothing wrong with that at all. Joan Jett does it — I mean, tons of bands do this. The Rockett Mafia [Rockett’s other band] does it. We can’t play in Omaha, Nebraska, on a Tuesday night and make any money. We’ll be upside down. But at the level we’ve managed to get to [with Poison], and Def Leppard and bands like this, you can play on a Tuesday night and people will come.”

What’s more, Rockett said that he doesn’t talk much to Michaels these days.

“I talk to C.C. all the time, at least once or twice a week. And his mom and my mom were really close. And my mom passed away, and his mom’s going through a lot right now. And that’s kept us close on one level,” he said. “I talk to Bobby less. Bobby keeps to himself a lot these days, which is okay, if that’s how he … Bobby can’t help himself but to talk about business, and sometimes he doesn’t wanna talk about business, so he just doesn’t wanna pick up the phone, you know what I mean? But Bret and I do not talk, unfortunately. And that’s a shame — honestly, it is. So we get bits and pieces of stuff.”

Back in 2024, Michaels told PennLive that Poison would reunite and tour in 2026.

“I love touring more than anything in the world. You’ll never hear me bitching about playing music,” he said at the time.
