Earlier in December, he had pleaded not guilty to the threats charges, as well as charges that he had methamphetamine and 130 grams of marijuana on him when he was arrested, reported Huffington Post.
His home in Tauranga, New Zealand was raided on November 6 last year after he allegedly called a man and his daughter, and threatened to kill them.
Police initially accused the 60-year-old rock star of masterminding a murder plot against the pair, but dropped that charge the next day.
He will be sentenced on June 26 and could be jailed for up to seven years for the threat to kill charge.
Possession of cannabis carries a sentence of three months and methamphetamine possession six months.
