Poison singer Bret Michaels has taken a break from preparing for this summer's stadium tour with Motley Crue, Def Leppard and Joan Jett to release a bandana folding tutorial.
In an Instagram post, Michaels shares the "official Bret Michaels bandana folding tutorial" with Poison and bandana fans for the "first time ever," clearly hoping to gain some traction as an influencer in the lucrative bandana folding community.
Taking viewers through the "patented Bret Michaels diamond fold", the hair metal icon promises that his technique will fit "any size head", before instructing followers to "go rock the world."
Such is Michaels' attachment to his bandana that in 2012, when the singer suffered a brain haemorrhage, he kept a bandana on his head during his hospital stay.
"It’s like superman without the cape. I said, ‘If I’m going out, I wanna go out rocking,'” Michaels told the Oprah Winfrey show the same year. “Leave the boots on [and] some form of a bandana… not that hospital gown."
The following year, in a video interview with People Magazine, Michaels admitted to having an extensive collection of the popular kerchiefs. "I don't have an exact count," said the rocker, "but I'm going to say at least a thousand different bandanas."
The stadium tour kicks off at the Truist Park in Atlanta, GA, on June 16. Full dates below. Tickets are on sale now.
