GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Health issues are forcing Heart lead singer Ann Wilson to take a step back from the stage for the rest of the year.
That means rock band Heart is postponing their remaining Royal Flush tour dates, including the Aug. 21 date at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids.
Fans are encouraged to hang onto their tickets as they'll be honored for any rescheduled dates.
Wilson shared this statement with fans:
Dear friends,
I 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 preventive 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.
Love,
Ann Wilson
