Poison frontman Bret Michaels reports he’s to have a procedure to remove skin cancer that was detected recently.
Michaels broke the news on his website and says he’s also having to deal with further health issues as he and his Poison bandmates prepare to head out on the road this summer with Motley Crue, Def Leppard and Joan Jett And The Blackhearts.
The vocalist says: “After a very recent kick-off to the new year, a physical and MRI has brought to my attention that I have torn my right shoulder rotator cuff, which would answer the question why it looks like a lump or bone was sticking out of my right shoulder.
“A little more complex, I will also have to undergo a procedure to remove skin cancer that was detected after a recent biopsy.
“I’m in the hands of incredible specialists who are both positive for great outcomes. It may slow me down a bit at the beginning of the year, but if God willing, I promise this year will be awesome.
“Just a few less solo shows and special events until I get this all squared up. As always continuing great diabetic maintenance to keep on rocking in 2020!”
The highly anticipated summer stadium tour, which will also feature Tuk Smith & The Restless Hearts, will get under way at the Alamodome in San Antonio on June 21 and wrap up at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on September 5.
