Ann Wilson, lead singer of rock band Heart, has said she has cancer and the band is postponing the remaining shows on its Royal Flush Tour while she undergoes treatment.

Please know that I absolutely plan to be back on stage in 2025,” Wilson said in the statement.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.”We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
