Bret Michaels has told NorthJersey.com in a new interview that he has his fingers crossed that POISON will hit the road again in 2017.

“I’m beyond thankful for Rikki [Rockett, drums] and C.C. [DeVille, guitar] and Bobby [Dall, bass],” he said. “These guys are an important part of my life and I’m hoping that POISON and DEF LEPPARD can tour together next spring.”

Bret originally mentioned the prospect of a POISONDEF LEPPARD tour in a July interview with The Salt Lake Tribune. LEPPARD guitarist Phil Collen later told the 106.9 The Eagle radio station that he knew nothing about the proposed pairing. “I think that was made up — I think it was Bret Michaels‘s wishful thinking,” he said. “[That was] first I’ve heard of it. I actually heard that as well, and it’s, like, ‘No!’ But, yeah, we are gonna be touring, but we haven’t got anything set in stone yet at all.”

POISON and DEF LEPPARD first hit the road together back in 2009, and then again three years later.

POISON appeared at the 2013 Indy 500 Miller Lite Carb Day, but has otherwise been mostly playing private shows, including one in January 2015.

The band hasn’t done any major touring since taking part in the 2012 “Rock Of Ages” trek with DEF LEPPARD and LITA FORD.

DEF LEPPARD is continuing to tour in support of its latest, self-titled album, which came out last year.
