Rock band Heart has canceled the rest of the dates on their 2024 Royal Flush Tour due to “medical reasons” involving lead singer Ann Wilson. The “Barracuda” group made the announcement on Instagram on Tuesday (July 2), writing: “As of today, Heart’s Royal Flush Tour is postponed due to medical reasons.” Wilson, 74, simultaneously posted a statement on her personal Instagram profile, sharing with fans: “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 preventive chemotherapy & I’ve decided to do it. “And so my doctors are instructing me to take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover,” she said. “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. “Thank you all for the support.
This is merely a pause. I’ve much more to sing,” Wilson concluded, noting that “this is the last public statement I’d like to make on the matter.” Heart kicked off the North American leg of their tour with special guest Cheep Trick on April 20 in Greenville, South Carolina.
They were scheduled to continue their North American tour until the end of the year, making stops in major cities including Montreal, Canada; Cincinnati, Ohi.
