DETROIT — At 60, Bret Michaels says he’s like a classic muscle car.
“I’m still fast, still fun to drive, I just need a little more maintenance,” says Michaels, who kicked off his 2023 Parti-Gras Tour at Pine Knob on Thursday.
The tour sees the Poison frontman performing with fellow hit-makers Night Ranger and Jefferson Starship, as well as Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath — with whom he shares a March 15 birthday — and ex-Journey singer Steve Augeri.
“It’s just an absolute, nothing-but-hits party,” says Michaels by phone last month as he prepped for the tour’s launch.
Michaels has been performing in Detroit for nearly 40 years, and he shared the secrets of his success, philosophies on life and why, after all these years, he’s still looking for nothin’ but a good time.
