According to ultimateclassicrock.com, while Loretta Lynn a country music star passed away on Tuesday, Posion’s frontman Bret Michaels recently revealed that he had visited her only weeks prior to her death. Michaels wrote in an Instagram post, “My heart is beyond heavy today as I have just learned of the passing of my good friend Loretta Lynn, I saw her a few weeks ago, and we sang some songs together. She was an incredible person, an incredible human being and an incredible talent who forged the way for women in the entertainment industry. She was sitting there in a blanket and we started talking, She said, ‘Let’s do a song together. I wrote one that’s gonna be called ‘Good Good Times.’’ She sang, ‘good good times and good good love/It comes from above.’ And then we sang a little bit of ‘Every Rose.’”
The latter track was a hit for Poison in 1988 and had always been a favorite of Lynn’s, she even requested it years ago the first time Michaels visited her in her home, and the two eventually recorded a country version of the track for Michael’s 2015 solo album, True Grit. The Poison frontman continued about his recent visit in saying, “We both knew she wasn’t feeling well, Both of us are kind of empathic, and you know when you just know? It was important for me having daughters to tell her what a big influence she was in breaking open an industry that was a little tough. She was such an influence on my kids, She did it her way. I want to make sure the world knows that: she did it her way.
