Back in July, Heart announced that their Royal Flush Tour had been postponed “due to medical reasons.” Ann Wilson had been diagnosed with cancer and was to undergo treatment.
Today, Ann shared the following audio message:
"Hello, everybody. Ann Wilson here.
"Now I know lots of you have been wondering how I've been doing, so I thought it'd be best if you heard this straight from me.
"I'm doing absolutely fine now, but it's been, to put it mildly, a lot. Chemo is no joke. It takes a lot out of a person. And then there's that two weeks of waiting around for test results, a form of mental torture.
"For anyone who's been through that, I empathize big time.
"Luckily for me, when the results finally came, they were the good kind!
"And so I'm excited to share with you that I'm now finished with chemo and I'm officially ready to get ready for the tour in 2025.
"There's maintenance going forward, but I'm told the side effects are much less severe. The worst is over and I'm thankful for the efficacy of this poison, but it's more than welcome to get the f*ck out of my body now.
"I'm immensely grateful to everyone who prayed and sent me those good vibes. I've so felt your love.
"My story has a happy ending, due in part to early detection. My advice? Get checked regularly.
"I love you all, and I'll see you very, very soon.
"There's much to celebrate."
Heart recently announced rescheduled dates for the Royal Flush Tour. “We are so so excited to resume this tour," said guitarist Nancy Wilson. “We were just starting to fire on all cylinders and the vibe was entirely MAJOR. To be continued…"
