Heart, the iconic American rock band, has unfortunately had to cancel their highly anticipated European tour. The group, who first rose to fame in the 1970s and experienced a resurgence in the 1980s, was set to kick off their Royal Flush Tour in Belgium on June 20th. However, they have been forced to call off the tour due to lead singer and co-founder Ann Wilson needing a time-sensitive medical procedure with a lengthy recovery period.
The band, known for selling over 35 million records and receiving four Grammy nominations, shared their deep regret with fans on social media. They explained that Ann's procedure would require a minimum of six weeks to recover, making it impossible for them to continue with their summer shows in the UK and other European countries.
Heart, thought to be the first rock group with a female lead singer, initially consisted of members Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson, Roger Fisher, Howard Leese, Michael DeRosier, and Steve Fossen. In a statement posted on YouTube, the band announced the cancellation of all upcoming performances in Europe and expressed their hope to return soon. Refunds will be available for fans who have purchased tickets.
Their tour was set to include 14 concerts in countries such as France, The Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium, as well as six UK shows in London, Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester, Leeds, and Glasgow. The band's chart-topping hits in the 70s, including Magic Man, Crazy on You, and Barracuda, solidified their place in rock history. They later had a comeback in the 80s with singles like These Dreams and their cover of Alone.
Sisters Nancy and Ann Wilson, who have remained as the enduring members of Heart, were excited to reunite and perform alongside Ryan Waters, Ryan Wariner, Paul Moak, Tony Lucido, and Sean T. Lane on their Royal Flush Tour. Ann, who is 73 years old, reassured fans on her Instagram that she is doing okay and apologized for any inconvenience caused by the tour cancellation.
Nancy Sinatra and other fans showed their support and wished Ann a speedy recovery in the comments of her post. In addition to her powerful vocals, Ann is also known for being a true icon and a magic woman, as praised by her dedicated fanbase. She has received an outpouring of love and well wishes, with many reminding her to prioritize her health.
We hope to see Heart back on tour soon, but for now, the important thing is for Ann to take care of herself and have a successful recovery. As one fan said, "Your health comes first!" So, let's show our love and respect to Ann and wish her the best.
