More About Ann Wilson’s Illness and Recovery
In May 2024, Heart announced that they were canceling a series of European concerts scheduled in June and July because Wilson had to undergo a “routine medical procedure,” for which she needed six weeks to recover.
Then, on July 2, Ann revealed that she’d been diagnosed with cancer and would be undergoing preventive chemotherapy treatment. She also reported that her doctors instructed her to take the rest of the year off to recover. This resulted in Heart postponing its remaining 2024 tour dates.
On September 9, Heart announced plans to return to the road for a 2025 edition of its Royal Flush Tour. Later that same month, Wilson posted an audio message on the band’s socials with an update on her health. Ann explained that she’d completed chemotherapy treatment and that she was doing “absolutely fine.”
“I’m excited to share with you that I’m now finished with chemo & I’m officially ready to get ready for the tour in 2025!” she reported. “There’s maintenance going forward but I’m told the side effects are much less severe. The worst is over & I’m thankful for the efficacy of this poison—but it’s more than welcome to get the f— out of my body now.”
