Bret Michaels Cancels Remaining 2026 Tour Dates to Recover From Recent Surgery
Doctors said Bret Michaels needs several months off after surgery, and his management apologized to ticketholders as remaining concerts were canceled.
On Saturday, singer Bret Michaels announced the cancellation of all remaining 2026 tour dates, including a scheduled performance at the Champlain Valley Fair, citing ongoing recovery from recent surgeries.
Following his comeback performance at The Bowl at Sugar Hill last Friday, doctors determined Michaels requires additional rest and advised him to refrain from touring until fully recovered.
Dr. Abby Borhan and Dr. Patel pulled Michaels off the road due to health risks from summer heat and humidity following his July surgery to remove a kidney stone that caused "intense" pain.
The Champlain Valley Fair stated, "we fully respect and support his decision to prioritize his health," while confirming Night Ranger remains scheduled to perform at the September 6 grandstand concert.
Michaels Entertainment Group offered "deepest apologies" to ticketholders, noting the company was "truly looking forward to the rest of this year's shows," including The Mountain Music Festival and other scheduled events.
