We await info as well.” But a recent BRET MICHAELS interview seems at odds with that information. ““We’d all have to discuss it as bands and everybody. It comes down to the bands, because you’ve also got the lives of crew, your production — everybody that’s traveling with you. And we all would have to make that decision together. And I think you do it when it’s right and it’s safe, because the first thing that matters is health is number one.” Read more fro Blabbermouth and listen to the interview here.
