Poison missed their show on June 30 in Nashville, TN with Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, and Joan Jett And The Blackhearts due to vocalist Bret Michaels being hospitalized. Michaels released a statement on his Instagram at the time apologizing for the sudden cancellation, and added that he was working on getting back on the road as soon as possible. Now Michaels has issued a second statement, saying he’ll be on stage tonight with the band in Florida but will skip the meet and greet for medical reasons.
“To all my friends in Jacksonville,
“In light of my recent medical situation & treatment, I’m very excited to try to attempt to bring all the positive energy, vocals and give you all I that I have on stage tonight. I promise, as always, to do the best I can and to give you all I got.
“As for the awesome Poison meet & greet, you know I always give 1000% both during the meet and greet and on stage. Doctors have highly recommended that I continue to rest and try to save all the energy I can for the show. Therefore I will not be able to be at the meet and greet this evening. I encourage you to go see the other guys and enjoy the meet and greet. Thank you for all your well wishes and understanding. Florida, you know I love you.”
