Bret Michaels sues promoter

Bret Michaels is taking legal action against a promoter over allegations the rocker turned up to perform in New York only to be told the concert had been canceled without his knowledge.


The Poison star claims he arrived at the CNY Regional Market venue in Syracuse, New York on August 5, 2010 with his crew but left fuming when he found out the gig had been postponed. The concert promoter, Mike Banks, allegedly claimed he canceled the show because he found out Michaels was due to appear on American Idol that night, but the TV appearance was in fact pre-recorded.


Michaels has now filed a lawsuit against Banks and Aloha Events, accusing the promoter of "breaching his contract and exposing him to public contempt and ridicule with allegedly defamatory statements about his schedule."


The lawsuit is allegedly seeking more than $5 million in damages.
