Poison jää tauolle: Paluu keikkalavoille mahdollisesti vuonna 2025
Yhdysvaltalainen glam metal -yhtye Poison kiersi kesällä kotimaansa stadioneita yhdessä Joan Jett & The Blackheartsin, Mötley Cruen jaDef Leppardin kanssa. Laulaja Bret Michaelsin mukaan yhtyeen keikat on nyt hetkeksi soitettu, ja laulaja keskittyy seuraavaksi soolouraansa. Michaels on vahvistanut suunnitelmansa tuoreessa SiriusXM:n Eddie Trunkille antamassaan haastattelussa ja kertonut Poisonin palaavan alustavasti tien päälle vasta vuonna 2025, mikäli asiat sujuvat suunnitellusti. Michaels kertoi tulevaisuudensuunnitelmistaan seuraavaa:
“For me, next year, I put it off this year, because we didn’t know this year… With everything going on in the world, we didn’t know if ’The Stadium Tour’ was gonna go [ahead in 2022]. I prayed every day, I’m, like, ‘I hope this goes. I’ve been waiting since ’20.’ First words out of my mouth besides thanking the fans and the bands and the crew, I go, ‘I’ve been waiting for two, almost three years for this’ [since] we announced ’The Stadium Tour’.
”But for me, this year we were gonna do the ’Party Gras’ tour. I put together something incredible, and now we’re gonna launch that in ’23. And when I tell you what this is and the way we’ve designed it with everybody, it’s an incredible amphitheater tour that’s just gonna be, I think it’s gonna be insane and gonna be the ‘all thriller, no filler’ summer party. And you’ll know what I mean when it hits the stage. It’s really an exciting idea.”
“This would be my own band, in ’23. I’m just saying ’25 is probably when Poison will put a humongous world tour together and go back out and be incredible. And it’ll be awesome. My ’Party Gras’, this entire amphitheater thing we’re doing and festival, as soon as we knew we were doing ’The Stadium Tour’, we moved that to ’23 and we got to do ’The Stadium Tour’, which is incredible.”
