Ann Wilson talked about her health and Heart’s tour in an official statement:
“Dear friends, I recently underwent an operation to remove something that, as it turns out, was cancerous. The operation was successful & I’m feeling great but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy & I’ve decided to do it.”
“And so my doctors are instructing me to take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover. To the ticket buyers, I really do wish we could do these gigs. Please know that I absolutely plan to be back on stage in 2025.”
She continued:
“My team is getting those details sorted & we’ll let you know the plan as soon as we can. Thank you all for the support. This is merely a pause. I’ve much more to sing. Love, Ann Wilson.”
“Respectfully, this is the last public statement I’d like to make on the matter,” Ann Wilson said.
Heart’s social media also released an official statement saying: “As of today, Heart’s Royal Flush tour is postponed due to medical reasons. Fans are encouraged to hold on their tickets as they will be honored for the rescheduled dates. More information to be announced in the coming weeks,” the band said.
