The legendary rocker shared on Instagram that she's taking the rest of the year off to recover after an operation discovered cancer, but plans to be back in 2025.

Heart just announced they will be postponing their Royal Flush Tour "due to medical reasons" as Ann Willson revealed she was diagnosed with cancer.

The band made the announcement via social media, encouraging fans to "hold on to their tickets" as they plan to reschedule the postponed shows.


Wilson herself took to Instagram, as well, updating fans on her health and revealing her cancer diagnosis.

On July 2, the legendary rocker shared:

“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.”

She continued that doctors instructed her to “take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover."

Wilson then expressed her hopes to be performing again next year.

“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.”

The singer finished her post:

“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.”

Fans offered their support in the comments.

Many said they were sad to miss the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee's performance, but Wilson should put her health and well-being first.

In late May, Wilson announced the cancellation of Heart performances in Europe stating she would be “undergo[ing] a time-sensitive but routine medical procedure."

She added in the caption:

"I’m okay! Please don’t worry."
"I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. It’s certainly an inconvenience for me."
"Love & respect always, Ann"

We're sending our love.

Pete Buttigieg Epically Zings Trump With Cheeky Reminder About His 'Small' Win Margin

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had social media users cackling after he made an innuendo-filled dig at President Donald Trump's "small" margin of victory in the 2024 election to the delight of the audience at The Late Show.

It's worth noting that Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election was not a "landslide," as he has often claimed. In fact, Trump won with 49.78% of the popular vote, securing victory by approximately 2.2 million votes. This made it the narrowest margin of victory for a president since Richard Nixon’s 1968 election.

Lindsey Graham Slammed For Cheering On Third Term For Trump After 'Inspiring' Speech

South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was criticized after he called President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress Tuesday night "inspiring" and cheered on Trump running for a third term in a post on X.

During his extensive ad lie-filled remarks last night in front of both chambers of Congress, Trump showcased the executive orders he has signed and outlined his vision for how Congress should advance his legislative agenda. Trump also praised billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for the damaging cuts to the federal government even though many have been blocked by the courts. Laughter roared through the chamber after he complained about "unelected bureaucrats" running the government, apparently not realizing that that's precisely what Elon Musk is.
