Michaels Mishaps Add Chapter To Biography
Poison frontman\'s book is delayed again
Bret Michaels has delayed the release of his autobiography so that he can include a new chapter about his recent ill-health.
Speaking to Billboard.com the Poison frontman say "I don't think Simon & Schuster has ever had a book like this, where every day something else happens to me. This book was supposed to come out June 23 of last summer (2009), and then I had the Tony Awards incident (where he was hit in the head by a piece of scenery) happen, so they wanted to put that in there. Then I had the brain haemorrhage, and they're like, 'You gotta talk about that...' This book is going to be like 'War and Peace' times six. It's ridiculous." Michaels hopes to have "Roses & Thorns" out in November, although the publisher currently lists it listed as a Feb. 1 release.
Michaels has a busy schedule lined up for the foreseeable future, with a new solo album due in July, a tour with Skynyrd and .38 Special and then a couple of reality shows.
Then in 2011, Michaels suggests, Poison will be out on the road – maybe with fellow hair metal hellraisers Motley Crue.
"I think it would be killer to do something with Motley Crue," he says. "Me and Vince Neil are really great friends, and we're talking about doing something really cool with the two of us solo, or maybe it could be Motley Crue and Poison, their 30th anniversary and our 25th, and go out together. It could be the 55th anniversary of Motley Crue and Poison! I think that would be awesome."
