Since the news of the Poison reunion is not until 2026, it looks like Rikki Rockett is not going to sit around and wait to get out and jam some rock and roll with some well-seasoned musicians.
Who Is In The Rockett Mafia?
Rockett has recruited three additional musicians to join him.
Rockett teased on social media. "This little band was created to have fun re-imagining, for the most part, 70's cover songs, but not the usual batch you'd expect."
"Wait until you hear some of these songs, and you'll go, 'Hey, I know that song! I can't believe they are playing that!' However, do not discount original material. Brandon and Mick both are powerhouses."

Not likely as Bret Michaels has said that in 2025 he wants to recharge his body, mind, and health.
Bret Michaels said it was "no secret" that 2025 is mostly reserved for focusing on his health, "starting with my diabetes, which needs a tune-up." However, Bret had repeatedly repeated in the past that Poison would play stadiums and arenas in 2025.
