Heart postpones remainder of 2024 tour dates, including Nashville's Bridgestone Arena

Heart has postponed the band's shows for the remainder of their tours, both with Def Leppard and Journey and their headlining Royal Flush tour, including their scheduled Oct. 14 show at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

Singer Ann Wilson announced Tuesday that she underwent an operation to remove something that turned out to be cancerous and is electing to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy.

"And so my doctors are instructing me to take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover," Wilson said in a statement that was emailed and posted on her Instagram account.

The statement continued, "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."

Ticket holders should hold onto their tickets as they will be honored for the rescheduled dates. More information to be announced in the coming weeks.
