Photograph: Nick Wass/Invision/APAnn Wilson, the lead singer of rock band Heart, has announced that she has been diagnosed with cancer.
Heart have therefore cancelled their next tour, entitled Royal Flush, which was due to have visited 48 cities across the US andduring the autumn. In May, Heart cancelled their UK and Europe summer tour, which included six UK arena dates, citing Wilson’s operation. With a commanding yet versatile voice suited to power balladry, pop-rock anthems and folkier material, Wilson has been the cornerstone of Heart since she joined in the mid-1970s along with her sister Nancy. The Canadian group released their debut album in 1975 and it reached the US Top 10, but it would be the mid to late 1980s that brought their biggest commercial successes, including two US No 1 singles, These Dreams and Alone. The latter was their biggest hit in the UK, reaching No 3 in 1987.
