Ann Wilson Hopeful Of Touring Return In Fresh Cancer Treatment

In a fresh update, Ann Wilson has revealed that she has finished her chemotherapy treatment, and is hopeful of a return to touring in 2025.

Earlier this Summer, Wilson’s band Heart were forced to postpone all remaining tour dates as she underwent treatment for cancer.

“I underwent an operation to remove something that, as it turns out, was cancerous,” Wilson said in July.

“The operation was successful and I’m feeling great but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy and I’ve decided to do it. And so my doctors are instructing me to take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover”. 

“get the f**** out”

Ann Wilson had also told her followers that she had finished her chemotherapy, and invited it to “get the f*** out” of her body.

In a recorded statement posted to social media, Ann Wilson said the following.

“Hello, everybody! Ann Wilson here. Now, I know lots of you have been wondering how I’ve been doing, so I thought it’d be best if you heard this straight from me”, she began.

“I’m doing absolutely fine now, but it’s been, to put it mildly, a lot. Chemo is no joke. It takes a lot out of a person. And then there’s 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,” she added. “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!”.

Wilson did also admit that she would have to deal with the “maintenance going forward, but I’m told the side effects are much less severe. The worst is over and I’m thankful for the efficacy of this poison — but it’s more than welcome to get the fuck out of my body now”.

“immensely grateful” 

Ann Wilson signed off by saying that she is “immensely grateful” to everyone who has supported her on her road to recovery.

“I’m immensely grateful to everyone who prayed and sent me those good vibes,” Wilson said.

“I’ve so felt your love. My story has a happy ending due in part to early detection. My advice? Get checked regularly. I love you all and I’ll see you very, very soon. There’s much to celebrate”. 

Heart will begin their rescheduled North American tour on February 28 next year.
