As a result, the other band members announced they wouldn’t be able to perform their set.
Obviously, some fans were upset, going to Twitter to express their disappointment. One fan wrote, “Came all the way from KC to watch poison. Bret Michaels was admitted to hospital. No poison in Nashville.”
Unclear how long Michaels will be sidelined, the tour continues with a date Saturday in Florida and Sunday in Mississippi.
