Bret Michaels has confirmed that his band is in talks to tour with DEF LEPPARD later in the year. Speaking to
CNN about his upcoming activities, Michaels said, "I've got a huge announcement, which actually just happened this morning. DEF LEPPARD and POISON are gonna go out on the road this summer. And the reason that's exciting for me [is] I know it will be the rock tour this summer. POISON and DEF LEPPARD, with all those big hits, being out there, we put out a great show, we've got a huge fanbase, but the one thing the fans get, we always keep the ticket prices down and deliver an absolutely awesome, kick-ass rock show. And I look forward to it, because I'm still a fan of music - I'm very passionate about the music I make - and when you can be out on the road with people you like - I've been able to go out with AEROSMITH, KISS, SKYNYRD - and to be out with DEF LEPPARD and POISON this summer, I think that it's gonna be the tour of the summer."
