Poison's Rikki Rockett has opened up about a band reunion and has confirmed that the '80s rockers will regroup in 2026.
In an interview with SiriusXM's Trunk Nation, hosted by Eddie Trunk, the drummer guaranteed fans that the glam metal icons will be returning in 2026, with the group's full line-up of Bret Michaels, Bobby Dall, CC DeVille and Rockett all on board.
During the chat, Trunk read a text message he had received from Poison's frontman Michaels prior to recording the episode.
"Bret sent me a text a day or two ago, and he said, 'Hey, I hear you're gonna have Rikki Rockett on. Send him my love and tell him Poison 2026.'
"What are your thoughts on that? Are you hopeful of that?"
Rockett confirmed, "Oh yeah. Yeah, absolutely, '26 is for sure going to happen unless some unforeseen thing happens. All the band members have stuck their hands in and said, 'Yeah, we're definitely doing it without a doubt.'"
The band last toured in 2022 when they joined Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe's stadium tour as opening support.
Poison's last full-length release was their seventh studio album Poison'd! in 2007.
Michaels has had a few health issues lately including a brain haemorrhage, skin cancer, diabetes and what he dubbed "headbanger's neck".
Earlier this year, the singer announced that he will be taking 2025 off "to recharge the batteries".
