“There are not enough words to thank the three generations of fans for making this such an exciting, record breaking, historical tour with the fastest sell outs in history at these stadiums. Since we first discussed this tour I have been putting out great vibes for this tour to happen with Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe & Joan Jett. I am excited & if I wasn’t on this tour, I would be buying a ticket. This tour is going to have mind blowing energy & all big hits. It truly takes a village & I have to say a big happy holidays & thank you to all of our fans, friends in the media & Live Nation for keeping the rockin’ world going round as I love Leppard, Crüe, Joan & all our awesome fans. I can’t wait to hit the road this summer with Poison.” - Bret Michaels
