\u201cThis is so awesome. I\u2019m here at the stadium. I grew up in Pittsburgh. This is a bucket list dream comes true for me. I\u2019m a sports fanatic, a music fanatic. I said it\u2019s mixing everything I love, family, friends, music, sports, right here,\u201d Michaels told Mike Babcock from Acrisure Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic and sports and my family having my back has really not only inspired me in life, but saved my life on many occasions. It goes so deep, and the NFL has been so incredible to work with. Wiz Khalifa, myself, Friday, 5:15 PM, kicking off the Friday night draft with nothing but a good time,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a good day in my life,\u201d Michaels said while referring to the NFL Draft 2026 taking place in Pittsburgh. \u201cThey\u2019re like, \u2018We want you to play your hits.\u2019 We both looked, we said, \u2018Well, we\u2019ll be on for, I don\u2019t know, maybe four, four and a half hours,\u201d he further shared. \u201cWe want to just provide some great music. Wiz [Khalifa] and myself and the Bret Michaels Band, we just want to entertain people. It\u2019s a great time. And then get down to what is the icing on the cake, which is the cake, is the draft. As a football fanatic, man, this is a good day.\u201d<\/p>\n
