Poison have been spending the summer on the Rock Of Ages tour with Def Leppard.

The rockers are currently on a mid-tour break, with dates resuming August 9 in Sunrise, FL.

The break gives Poison frontman Bret Michaels a chance to play a series of solo shows while he promotes his upcoming album, “Get You Rock On.”

The project features a variety of guests, including Ace Frehley, Joe Perry, Michael Anthony and Jimmy Buffett, to name just a few.

While juggling two tours and the launch of the new Bret Michaels Pets Rock collection with PetSmart, the singer spoke with The Columbus Dispatch about a project he’s planning: a movie about his life

The film would start with his youth in Pittsburgh, where he overcame his childhood health issues, first picked up a guitar and formed his first bands. It’s a rags-to-riches story — Poison has sold more than 30 million records — but Michaels warns that his story wouldn’t be a standard-issue biopic.

“I want to tell the story,” he says. “Mostly, when you see rock movies, it has to be this over-the-top thing. I want to give people a Bret Michaels movie where they see that my life is a comedy of errors. “I also want to show my fans how to get through the kind of troubles that would leave most people flat on the floor.”
