Bret Michaels has withdrawn from the Trump-backed Freedom 250 concert series due to concerns over safety and political divisiveness, a decision supported by his bandmate Rikki Rockett and echoed by Martina McBride. The event, which features acts like Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, and Flo Rida, has seen several lineup changes, including the departure of Morris Day & The Time, while Michaels emphasized that Poison will not perform without all four original members.
