Bret Michaels Cancels All 2026 Tour Dates for ‘Rest and Recovery’ After Recent Surgeries

Bret Michaels has canceled the remainder of his 2026 tour dates in order to fully recover from recent surgeries the Poison singer underwent.

Michaels, a Type 1 diabetic who recently had a kidney stone removed as well as a ureteral stent placed, returned to the stage following the surgery with a gig Friday night in Sugar Hill, Georgia. However, soon after the show, it was apparent that he hadn’t fully healed from the operation.

“Following Bret Michaels’ comeback show [in Sugar Hill], doctors and paramedics determined immediately after the show that he still needs additional rest and recovery from his recent surgeries,” Michaels’ reps wrote in a statement on social media. “Bret will be taking the next several months off to heal and get back to 100%.”
