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.

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.
