Heart singer Ann Wilson has revealed she is suffering from cancer.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ANN WILSON?
The 74-year-old musician announced her health battle in an emotional Instagram post on Tuesday – detailing how she will undergo chemotherapy after having surgery.
The post read: ‘Dear friends, I recently underwent an operation to remove something that, as it turns out, was cancerous.
‘The operation was successful & I’m feeling great but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy & I’ve decided to do it.’
WHAT DOCTORS TOLD HER
Wilson said doctors had advised her to ‘take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover’ – canceling Heart’s planned Royal Flush Tour alongside Cheap Trick, which was slated to begin on July 30 in Cleveland and run until December.
STATEMENT TO TICKET HOLDERS
‘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.
‘Please know that I absolutely plan to be back on stage in 2025.
‘This is merely a pause. I’ve much more to sing, Love, Ann Wilson. Respectfully, this is the last public statement I’d like to make on the matter.’
Wilson did not reveal what type of cancer she is battling.
Ann and sister Nancy Wilson, 70, previously cancelled a series of concerts in June and July in Europe due to medical concerns.
They said Ann ‘had to undergo a time-sensitive but routine medical procedure’ that required at least six weeks of recovery.
