24 Aug
Summary
- Bret Michaels canceled the remainder of his 2026 tour dates.
- He cited health issues including blood sugar and blood pressure.

Poison frontman Bret Michaels announced the cancellation of his remaining 2026 tour dates on Sunday, August 24, 2026. This decision comes after a recent performance in Sugar Hill, Georgia, where Michaels attempted a comeback following recent surgeries. He indicated that factors such as the Atlanta heat, a coast-to-coast flight, and adjustments to his medication significantly impacted his blood sugar and blood pressure.
As a Type 1 diabetic, Michaels is now working closely with doctors and physical therapists to manage his condition. His medical team is fine-tuning his medications and insulin regimen. Michaels expressed his deep disappointment, particularly regarding missing the Tennessee Mountain Music Festival.
Despite this temporary setback, Michaels remains eager to perform and has committed to returning to the stage. He anticipates resuming his touring schedule in either 2027 or 2028, hoping this latest health challenge is a temporary one.
