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.”

Greatest female rockers of all time. I remember watching Heart’s “Never” video on MTV and drooling as a pre-teen growing up in the 80s.

SHE removed the cancerous growth via surgery??? Dayum, Ann Wilson is more talented than I thought!

Best wishes for her full recovery, though. Great vocalist.

Prayers for her recovery. I've always liked Heart. In case you missed it, their part of the Kennedy Center Honors for Led Zeppelin from 2012 is simply magnificent. You see why Ann and Nancy Wilson are not female rockers, but just rockers. Here is the entire honors show and you'll know when Heart appears because you'll be standing in front of whatever is playing this: https://youtu.be/AAsUq2aIyr8?si=5i6IpdbbLvDRiR-V

Saw her perform in September, 2023. She was incredible, still!

So sorry to hear this news.

I had plans to attend the Heart concert Oct 14 in Nashville and Nov 14 in Memphis. I hadn’t bought tickets yet, so I don’t have to worry about refunds.

I wish Ann Wilson a speedy recovery. I alway did like their music. I bought their first 6 albums as they came out way back when.
