Poison fans are holding their breath,and hoping that drummer Rikki Rocketts' recent arrest on rape charges will not interrupt the 2008 tour dates scheduled this summer-especially those who have already made plans to catch a show.
It's old news now,but 46 yr. old Rockett was arrested Monday shortly after getting off a plane from New Zealand and landed at LAX, on a rape warrant out of Mississippi.A woman filed a complaint alleging that she was raped in September 2007 in a hotel room at Silver Star Casino,a Choctaw Indian resort near Philadelphia,MS,by Rikki Rockett,whose real name is Richard Ream.
Poison was at its most popular in the 80's as one of the original "hair-bands" and unbeknownst to many people,they are STILL touring regularly over 20 years after the debut album was released to success.So far,no plans to cancel any dates have been announced.They have several concerts scheduled for this year,including dates at nearby venues in Northern Virginia/DC area.
