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.

Bret originally mentioned the prospect of a POISON-DEF LEPPARD tour in a July interview with The Salt Lake Tribune.

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.
