Ann Wilson of Heart Returns After Chemo, Ryan Reynolds Visits Young Patient and More

Ann Wilson finishes chemo, Heart reschedules tour for 2025.

Ann Wilson, lead singer of the iconic rock band Heart, has completed chemotherapy and the band is set to tour next year, she announced in an Instagram post.

Heart was forced to postpone its 2024 tour this summer when Wilson, 74, announced she had received a diagnosis of cancer. The singer took to Instagram this week to update fans on her condition.

“I’m doing absolutely fine now but it’s been, to put it mildly, a lot,” Wilson wrote in a post. “Chemo is no joke. It takes a lot out of a person. And then that two weeks of waiting around for test results, a form of mental torture. For anyone who’s been through that, I empathize big time.

“Luckily, for me, when the results finally came, they were the good kind! And so I’m excited to share with you that I’m now finished with chemo and I’m officially ready to get ready for the tour in 2025! There’s maintenance going forward but I’m told the side effects are much less severe,” Wilson wrote, noting that “the worst is over.”
