Ann Wilson, frontwoman of Heart, diagnosed with cancer


Chart-topping singer cancels remainder of 2024 tour dates but says she hopes to return next year

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 band have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2023 Ann and Nancy were given a lifetime achievement Grammy award.
