LOS ANGELES (AP) — 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 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 & we’ll let you know the plan as soon as we can.”

All previously purchased tickets for the now-postponed shows will be honored. The rescheduled dates will be announced in the coming weeks, according to the release.

Please pray for her even if you don't believe in God. When I heard this I felt like somebody punched me in the stomach.

Sad news.. I have always considered Ann to to have that one voice that stands out in the rock world of female vocalist.

Hope she is strong enough and has good medical staff to pull her through..

My favorite for her ..

I agree! No other female vocalist has such a controlled powerful voice. No autotune, no skanky dancers, just brilliant singing.
