Rikki Rockett recently spoke with Eddie Trunk on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation. During their conversation, he confirms that Poison will be coming back in 2026.

Eddie Trunk: "When I announced on socials about a week ago when I knew you were gonna come on today, Bret sent me a text, Bret Michaels a day or two ago, and he said, 'Hey, I hear you're gonna have Rikki Rocket on. Send him my love and tell him Poison 2026.' What are your thoughts on that? Are you hopeful of that?"

Rikki Rockett: "Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. ‘26 is for sure gonna happen and like, I mean, unless some unforeseen thing happens, but all band members have stuck their hand in and said, 'Yeah, we're definitely doing it without a doubt.'"

Bret Michaels recently went on Facebook Live to speak about plans for the future, including for Poison to hit the road in 2026 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Look What The Cat Dragged In with his bandmates C.C. Deville (guitarist), Rikki Rockett (drummer), and Bobby Dall (bassist).

Michaels shared the following: "I know a lot of people are wondering, and I try to clear any confusion. ‘25 is going to be an awesome year. We're gonna pick out some special dates, and I'm just going to do my best to a little R&R, take care of my diabetes, which could just use a tune-up. That’s it and some other things that we're going through right now. All gonna be great. I'm keeping positive. And some great family time to have some fun, but still do some great select shows. And then '26, if all goes great, with a lot of moving parts with C.C. and Bobby, Rikki, myself, I am positive we're gonna work everything out and go out in '26."
