Ann Wilson, lead singer of Heart, announced that the remainder of her North American Tour dates will be postponed. The band was the headliner for the “Royal Flush Tour,” as well as supporting acts Journey and Def Leppard on their Stadium Tour.
Ann Wilson shared in a public statement that she was recently diagnosed with cancer. She said she “underwent an operation to remove something that, as it turns out, was cancerous.” She clarified that the operation was successful but doctors recommended resting for a year while undergoing chemotherapy.
Heart was one of the first hard rock bands fronted by women, which was led by sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson. Ann was never formally taught as a vocalist, but is known for hitting power ballads with an operatic vocal range.
