Back in July, Heart postponed their Royal Flush tour because Ann Wilson was undergoing cancer treatment. The singer told her fans that the surgery was successful, but doctors wanted her to take off the rest of 2024 and undergo preventative chemotherapy.
Today, the Wilson sisters announced that they will be hitting the road again in February.
Their first date will be on February 28th in Las Vegas and go until April 5th.
If you want tickets to one of the 19 rescheduled dates, then you can get information on Heart-Music.com.
Heart has been on the road since April promoting their new album. However, they have to take the rest of the year off for medical reasons.
July 2, 2024
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. 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.
Heart is in the middle of their Royal Flush Tour. They had just finished the first leg of the tour in America and were going to head to Europe at the end of June. I said that in the past tense because that is no longer happening.
The band released the following statement: “We regret to inform you that all upcoming Heart performances in Europe are canceled.
“In late May, Ann Wilson will undergo a time-sensitive but routine medical procedure for which the minimum recovery time is six weeks.
“Heart deeply regrets this unfortunate circumstance and hopes to return to Europe soon. Refunds will be available at point of purchase as applicable.”
Obviously, fans are worried about Ann, and she released her own statement, “I’m okay! Please don’t worry. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. It’s certainly an inconvenience for me. Love & respect always, Ann”
Hopefully, the surgery will go well, and she will be able to resume the tour with her sister on August 23rd in Cleveland.
Heart were the musical guests on The Tonight Show yesterday, and Jimmy Fallon wanted to perform a duet with them.
In honor of the Total Solar Eclipse, they sang Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart as it was happening.
And that makes sense because there was a Total Eclipse and Ann and Nancy Wilson’s band’s name in Heart.
What doesn’t make sense is why the host overacted in their performance. Not everything needs to be Saturday Night Livey. It is OK to be serious every now and again, like with this song. It would have been so much better.
