Ann Wilson, lead singer of the rock band Heart, announced she was diagnosed with cancer and that the group will postpone the remaining shows on its Royal Flush Tour.
In a statement on Tuesday, the rock legend, 74, said she removed a cancerous growth via surgery and is recovering steadily.
Her doctors, however, urged her to undergo preventive chemotherapy and to take time off from performing “in order to fully recover.”
“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 & we’ll let you know the plan as soon as we can,” Wilson said.
“This is merely a pause,” the singer added. “I’ve much more to sing.”
The rock group also canceled the European leg of its tour in May, with a release via X announcing Wilson had to have “a time-sensitive but routine procedure for which the minimum recovery time is six weeks.”
Heart formed in 1973, with the band being led by Wilson and her sister Nancy Wilson on the guitar.
Throughout the decades, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers made hits like “Magic Man” and “Alone.”
