The “Barracuda” singer, 74, announced on X on Tuesday that she recently underwent an operation and “as it turns out, (it) was cancerous.”
She assured fans the procedure was successful and she’s feeling great, “but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy & I’ve decided to do it.”
Wilson added her doctors are instructing her “to take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover.”
The band, made up of Wilson and her sister Nancy, among others, was in the middle of their “Royal Flush Tour,” which was scheduled to run into mid-December.
Concert dates are now listed as postponed, but Wilson assured ticket buyers that her team “is getting those details sorted & we’ll let you know the plan as soon as we can.”
In her announcement, Wilson said, “I absolutely plan to be back on stage in 2025,” adding, “This is merely a pause. I’ve much more to sing.”
Despite having to take a break from performing due to her doctors' advice, Heart legend Wilson is determined to continue her love for entertainment, planning to return to the stage in 2025. Facing this challenging period, she acknowledged the importance of maintaining her health and continuing her entertainment journey to provide fans with more unforgettable performances.
