Bret Michaels Cancels All Remaining 2026 Tour Dates Following Two Surgeries
The 63-year-old Poison singer and solo star is recovering from surgery to remove kidney stones.
Bret Michaels, the 63-year-old singer and former frontman of the band Poison, has canceled all remaining 2026 solo band shows following two recent surgeries. In an Instagram post on August 22, Michaels explained that after attempting to perform at a show in Sugar Hill, Georgia on August 21, he was advised to take additional rest and recovery time by his doctors.
According to his medical team, Dr. Abby Borhan and Dr. Patel, Michaels needs more time to heal from the surgeries he recently underwent. These included a kidney stone removal and the implantation of a ureteral stent. Michaels, who has Type 1 diabetes, cited the summer heat and humidity as a concern for his blood sugar levels during the recovery period.
Despite the cancellation of his tour, Michaels expressed his gratitude to fans for their well-wishes and assured them that he plans to return to performing once he is fully healed.
