Heart surprised fans last month when they postponed their 2024 tour dates because Ann Wilson needed to undergo chemotherapy. The plan is for the band to return to the road in 2025.
Guitarist Nancy Wilson was asked by Ultimate Classic Rock whether those plans are still on track, and fortunately, they are.
Nancy said, “We’re coming back out in February. We’re rescheduling [the shows and] they’re about to be announced.”
Initially, when Heart’s tour dates were postponed, the reason cited was “due to medical reasons.” Following the band’s statement, Wilson took to social media to offer up some details regarding her health.
She wrote, “I recently underwent an operation to remove something that, as it turns out, was cancerous. The operations was successful, and I’m feeling great, but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and 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.”
Wilson continued, “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, and 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.”
She concluded, “Respectfully, this is the last public statement I’d like to make on the matter.”
