Heart Cancels European Tour as Ann Wilson Must Have 'Time-Sensitive but Routine Medical Procedure'

Heart’s Ann Wilson won’t be able to take the stage for a while.

The sister duo, which also includes Nancy Wilson, have announced that their 2024 European summer tour has been canceled as Ann has to “undergo a time-sensitive but routine medical procedure”. Still, she doesn’t want fans to “worry” about her.

“We regret to inform you that all upcoming Heart shows in Europe have been cancelled,” the band wrote on social media regarding the June 20-July 12 multi-country tour with special guest Squeeze.

“At the end of May, Ann Wilson will undergo a time-sensitive but routine medical procedure with a minimum recovery time of six weeks,” Heart added.

A statement from Barracuda continued: “Heart deeply regrets this unfortunate circumstance and hopes to return to Europe soon. Refunds will be available at the point of purchase if applicable.”

Ann, 73, then posted on her personal Instagram account, letting fans know: “I’m fine! Please don’t worry.”

Last year, Ann spoke to PEOPLE about feeling like her “stamina” on tour is better than ever during an interview at the 6th annual Women Who Rock benefit concert hosted by Gibson Gives. She also attributed her youthful energy to a more balanced lifestyle when it comes to alcohol.

“I’m not 100% sober. I usually have a glass of white wine after the show, but that’s all that’s left,” she said at the time. “I’ve been really good at it. It’s actually really good and it helps my endurance and I warm up really well.”
