Bret Michaels Unmasks Edwin McCain As Nessy On The Masked Singer

Bret Michaels, the iconic Poison frontman, has proven his detective skills are just as sharp as his musical talents. The rock star recently took to Instagram to share that his prediction about the identity of The Masked Singer’s Nessy character was spot on.

In his post, Michaels referred to himself as ‘#BandanaBanana’ while revealing he had correctly suspected that singer Edwin McCain was the celebrity behind the Nessy mask on Fox’s hit show The Masked Singer.

‘As #BandanaBanana, like an amateur sleuth, I had my suspicions that #NessyMask might have been my friend @theedwinmccain 🎤 Congrats! #TheMaskedSinger,’ Michaels wrote in his Instagram caption. The image shared by Michaels shows him wearing his signature bandana while giving a thumbs up, appearing quite pleased with his successful prediction about his fellow musician friend.

Michaels Had Been Following The Competition

This wasn’t Michaels’ first post about The Masked Singer. Just earlier, he had shared another post indicating he was closely following the competition and was confident about Nessy’s identity. ‘#TheMaskedSinger has its final five tonight and I just KNOW who’s under Nessy’s mask! #BandanaBanana will be tuning in at 8/7c on FOX!’ he wrote in the previous post, showing he was eagerly anticipating the reveal.

The Masked Singer, which features celebrities performing in elaborate costumes while a panel of judges and the audience try to guess their identities, has become one of Fox’s most successful reality competition shows since its debut in 2019.

The Edwin Mccain Connection

Edwin McCain, known for hits like ‘I’ll Be’ and ‘I Could Not Ask for More,’ was indeed the performer behind the Nessy mask. McCain and Michaels have a long-standing friendship in the music industry, which likely gave Michaels an edge in recognizing his friend’s distinctive voice despite the show’s attempts to disguise it.

McCain, who rose to prominence in the late 1990s with his emotional ballads, managed to impress both judges and audiences with his performances on the show before his identity was finally revealed, confirming Michaels’ suspicions.

Rock Star Keeping Busy

Beyond his sleuthing activities, Michaels has been quite busy with various professional endeavors. The Poison vocalist is currently promoting Rock the Tides, a music event featuring all-inclusive packages at a luxury resort. ‘Rock the Tides presale is live! Use code PARTY to access all-inclusive packages,’ Michaels announced in another recent post, highlighting the three-day event that promises ‘legendary performances & the ultimate 5-star vacation.’

Michaels has also been keeping his musical chops sharp, sharing footage of an acoustic blues jam session with guitarist Pete Evick midweek. Additionally, the rocker recently appeared on the podcast ‘Pawn After Dark’ with Rick Harrison and Chumlee from the television show ‘Pawn Stars,’ discussing music and sharing tour stories to help celebrate Harrison’s 60th birthday.

Tour Plans And Upcoming Performances

Michaels is gearing up for a series of performances across the United States. In his Earth Day post, he mentioned upcoming shows in Oklahoma and Mississippi this week, as well as a future performance in Grantville, Pennsylvania at Hollywood Casino on June 14 alongside Night Ranger and Quiet Riot. The musician remains as active as ever, balancing his touring schedule with various media appearances and business ventures.
