Poison reportedly scrapped its planned 40th‑anniversary reunion after a money dispute, with drummer Rikki Rockett saying Bret Michaels wanted the lion’s share of the proceeds—roughly six times what his bandmates would earn—making the tour unfeasible despite an attractive offer; Rockett says the group could revisit the idea next year if finances can be worked out.
Poison drummer Rikki Rockett discussed the lack of a social cultural movement in rock music and praised Taylor Swift for her bravery in speaking out.
