Bret Michaels will be taking a quick detour from his hectic touring schedule with Lynyrd Skynyrd – and no, doctors won't be involved: He's joining Miley Cyrus on Good Morning America's summer stage this Friday.

The family friends will sing Poison's hit, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," which Cyrus covers on her new album.

For Michaels – who has been touring steadily since his return to the stage in Biloxi on May 28 – it's another step towards making sure his legacy is to be that he rocked.

And Cyrus will be happy for a chance to showcase new material from her new album Can't Be Tamed, especially in the wake of outrage over an apparently explicit paparazzi shot of her posted by Perez Hilton.
