Ann Wilson, lead singer of rock band Heart, says she has cancer and the band is postponing the remaining shows on its Royal Flush Tour while she undergoes treatment.
Wilson said in a statement on Tuesday that she underwent a surgery to remove a cancerous growth and is recovering steadily, but that her doctors urged her to undergo preventive chemotherapy and take time off from performing “in order to fully recover”.
That meant the rest of the shows on the North American tour will be postponed to dates in 2025.
“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,” Wilson said in the statement.
“My team is getting those details sorted and we’ll let you know the plan as soon as we can.”
The rescheduled dates will be announced in the coming weeks, according to the release.
“This is merely a pause. I’ve much more to sing,” Wilson continued in the statement before adding, “respectfully, this is the last public statement l’d like to make on the matter.”
