TMZ has learned that Poison drummer Rikki Rockett had to bail on a gig tomorrow night at his local coffee shop because of the Mississippi warrant that's out for his arrest on sexual assault charges. Don't ya hate when that happens?!
He and his fiancee Melanie Martel, a singer, were scheduled to play at Rattlesnake Slim's, an intimate coffeehouse/music venue in Newhall, Calif., not far from where Rikki and Melanie live. But after the story about his warrant broke last night, Rikki called Slim's today and told them they wouldn't be able to make it "due to what's going on" and the crush of media that would follow.
When asked about his legal woes, we're told, Rikki said he couldn't talk about it "because of his lawyers."

one word...... NASTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man! There goes my plans for Saturday night! Now wherever shall I go for my white chocolate mocca vente w/ whippage and chocolate dust and listen to an 80's glam metal throwback and his babe do coffee house versions of "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" and "Cry Tough" and let us not forget the ever toe tapping sound of "Unskinny Bop"?!?! By the way, I am not jumping to conclusions on this accusation on Rikki. There have ben many cases of false charges of rape thrown at high profile and once semi high profile people before and in the end the truth came out that nothing happend. Rikki, if you are not guilty I do hope that something positive emerges from this for you. What that could be only God knows right now.
Ooooh, good story TMZ. Guy had to cancel a gig due to rape charges? How totally not rock n' roll of him. Slow day, make some news. Standard TMZ.
His business partner Bobby "Tango" Gibb is talking to all the media that he can....be carefull of those close to you Rikki!!
Someone should have given him a kleenex. He has snot coming out of his nose. GROSS.
HA! Too bad his band's name was Poison, and not W A R R A N T !!!!!
Wow his women is hot!!! saw the link. I guess money makes up for a small weenie. Just what some gal on Howard Stern said
Who raped him?... and why?
I am shocked... (not really).. maybe shocked it ain't some rapper rapin..
It's been all the rage this week..mixed in with a few weapons, narcodics... they are all losers.
