Tour & Health History

In 2024, Heart was forced to cancel all scheduled shows for that year. This followed a postponement of the European leg of their tour. The reason: Ann Wilson underwent what was initially described as a “time-sensitive but routine medical procedure” to remove some sort of possibly cancerous tissue.

After surgery, the removed growth proved to indeed be cancerous. Ann then began a regimen of preventative chemotherapy. Because of the diagnosis and treatment, Ann’s doctors advised her to step away from performing to allow a full recovery.

Despite these challenges, Heart resumed their tour: The first leg of their North American run wrapped up May 24, 2024, in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Returning over the summer of 2025. The band had a powerful showing with sold-out crowds and positive reviews, prompting demand strong enough to lead to the 2026 extension of the Royal Flush Tour.

Outlook for the Heart 2026 Tour

With these new dates, it looks like Heart are aiming for a strong recovery in terms of touring. Ann Wilson seems to be in a place of regained strength (or moving toward it), enough for the band to commit to a multi-month tour in 2026. For fans, the upcoming Royal Flush Tour will likely represent a return to form... a chance to see the band perform many of their classic hits live once again.

Here's Heart live on Jimmy Fallon last year. Since then, Ann Wilson has picked up a short, platinum hairstyle.
