Heart has postponed its “Royal Flush” tour so that singer Ann Wilson can undergo cancer treatment. She 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,” she added. “And so my doctors are instructing me to take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover.”
Wilson said she “absolutely” plans to return to the stage in 2025 and will share details with fans “as soon as we can. This is merely a pause. I’ve much more to sing,”
“Royal Flush” was to feature Cheap Trick as support on most of the North American leg. Heart was also scheduled to join Def Leppard and Journey for summer stadium shows in Cleveland, Toronto and Boston;
The band said tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates, with more information to be announced in the coming weeks.
