Heartbroken in the Heartland: Ann Wilson Reveals Cancer Diagnosis, Royal Flush Tour Postponed

Heart’s powerful vocals have been a mainstay of American rock for decades, but lead singer Ann Wilson’s soaring voice will be taking a break. On July 2nd, Wilson announced she’d been diagnosed with cancer, putting the band’s Royal Flush Tour on hold.

In a social media statement, the 74-year-old singer revealed she underwent surgery to remove a cancerous growth. While the operation was successful and Wilson reports feeling well, her doctors have advised a course of preventive chemotherapy. This treatment necessitates prioritizing recovery, forcing the postponement of Heart’s remaining tour dates.

Fans who’ve purchased tickets for the North American leg of the Royal Flush Tour needn’t worry – the shows are being rescheduled for 2025. Specific details are forthcoming, but one thing is certain: Wilson’s unwavering spirit shines through in her message. “I absolutely plan to be back on stage in 2025,” she assures fans.

This news comes as a blow to fans eagerly anticipating the tour. Heart’s timeless hits like “Barracuda” and “Alone” are anthems for generations, and the chance to see Wilson belt them out live is an experience many cherish.

However, Wilson’s health comes first. The rock community and fans nationwide send their well wishes for a full and speedy recovery. With her signature strength and that incredible voice, there’s no doubt Ann Wilson will be back on stage, captivating audiences once again.

In the meantime, fans can crank up their favorite Heart classics and reminisce about unforgettable concerts. We eagerly await Wilson’s return and the chance to sing along live in 2025.
