Page Six<\/a> that although plans were in motion for a 40th anniversary tour, Michaels’ financial demands made those plans untenable. According to Rockett, Michaels was asking for a 600% payday compared to his bandmates.<\/p>\n“We had a great offer, I thought. But we left the table,” Rockett told Page Six. “It didn’t work. Really what it came to was C.C., Bobby, and I were all in, and I thought Bret was, but he wanted the lion\u2019s share of the money, to the point where it makes it not possible to even do it. It\u2019s like $6 to every one of our dollars. You just can\u2019t work that way.”<\/p>\n
Rockett added, “I don’t do this just for the money. I do have a love for this, absolutely. But at the same time, you don\u2019t want to go out and work really hard just to make somebody else a bunch of money.” Would he consider doing a Poison tour with a different frontman?
“It\u2019s not out of the question,” he said. “But doing that is like surgery: it\u2019s the last resort.”<\/p>\n
Instead, rocket plans to perform Look What The Cat Dragged In on tour with his side band, Rockett Mafia, and hope for another go with Poison in 2027. He notes that it would be “a perfect Poison folly to do a 41st anniversary tour.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Poison haven’t performed together since their 2022 stadium tour opening for M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce, but the hair metal hit-makers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":419802,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,341],"class_list":{"0":"post-419801","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419801"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419801\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
