After a couple of medical emergencies interrupted his touring plans, Bret Michaels is headed back on tour. Bret Michaels tickets will be available for the remainder of his concert schedule, which includes a supporting gig on the Lynyrd Skynyrd summer tour and almost 50 of his own concert dates. The tour comes on the eve of the release of his sixth studio album, Custom Built. The album's release date has yet to be announced, but it is expected sometime in the summer of 2010.

Michaels had a highly successful career with Poison in the late 1980s and early 1990s. During that time, he co-wrote ten top 40 singles including the hit, Every Rose Has Its Thorn, which held the number one spot for three weeks in Billboard's Top Pop Singles chart.

The onetime front man for the hair-metal band Poison, singer Bret Michaels made his solo debut in 1998 with Letter from Death Row, the soundtrack to the film Michaels wrote, directed and co-produced with actor Charlie Sheen.
