It's somewhat misleading to call Bret Michaels' next album a solo effort, as he's teamed up with nearly a dozen well-known rockers and country musicians. The Poison frontman has recorded the project without the band that made him famous. Instead, artists like Ace Frehley, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Aerosmith's Joe Perry and many more will join him on Poison hits.

Def Leppard and Poison will begin a tour of North America in June, crossing the country in 32 days, with 18 shows in the U.S. and Canada. It's the second extended stretch of dates featuring the two '80s rock bands, who toured extensively together in 2009.
Tonight (Feb. 11) had been surprisingly quiet in the rock world for a night right before the Grammy Awards, but that changed immediately with the shocking news of iconic pop star Whitney Houston's untimely demise.
