Bret Michaels' pay demand sinks Poison's 40th anniversary tour, drummer says
TL;DR
Poison reportedly scrapped its planned 40th‑anniversary reunion after a money dispute, with drummer Rikki Rockett saying Bret Michaels wanted the lion’s share of the proceeds—roughly six times what his bandmates would earn—making the tour unfeasible despite an attractive offer; Rockett says the group could revisit the idea next year if finances can be worked out.
