’80s glam rock band ‘absolutely’ reuniting for 2026 tour

Rikki Rocket, the drummer for 1980s rock band Poison, said the band is reuniting in 2026.

Rocket, 63, confirmed that Poison will return in 2026 during an interview with Eddie Trunk on SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation." He said the band's reunion will feature its full lineup of lead singer Bret Michaels, bassist Bobby Dall, guitarist C.C. Deville and himself.

"Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. '26 is for sure gonna happen unless some unforeseen thing happens," Rocket said. "But all band members have stuck their hand in and said, 'Yeah, we're definitely doing it without a doubt.'"

Poison last toured in 2022 alongside Def Leopard and Mötley Crüe for a cross-country stadium tour. The band's last album release was "Poison'd!" in 2007.

Earlier this year in March, Michaels announced on his website that he was dealing with "recent medical results and setbacks" and would be taking off "most, if not all" of 2025 to "truly recharge the batteries and get a good, much-needed physical tuneup."

In September, Michaels addressed rumors of Poison reuniting for a tour in 2026, which marks the 40th anniversary of the release of its debut album, "Look What the Cat Dragged In," in 1986.

"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," Michaels wrote in a Facebook post .

"Again, although none of this is confirmed and it takes much coordination & 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 4′s be with you!," he added.
