Bret Michaels Is Suing A Promoter For Postponing A Gig . . . And He’s Asking For $5 Million
BRET MICHAELS is suing some concert promoters for $5 MILLION.
–Bret is ticked because the promoters postponed a gig . . . scheduled for August 5th in Syracuse, New York . . . without any warning. He also says they failed to pay him his guaranteed deposits.
–He’s accusing them of, quote, “breaching his contract and exposing him to public contempt and ridicule with allegedly defamatory statements about his schedule.”
–See, the promoters went around blaming the cancellation on Bret’s appearance on “America’s Got Talent”.
–But Bret says the appearance was taped before the concert, and he showed up to play, on time, as scheduled. But when he got there, the stage was bare and there wasn’t any sound or lighting equipment.
–Bret believes the promoters used him as a scapegoat, because they were having financial problems. He says, quote, “You don’t just go: ‘Hey I don’t feel like paying anybody.’ I think . . . [they] bit off more than [they] could chew.”
