Heart Cancels Highly Anticipated European Tour
An iconic American rock group, Heart, known for their success in the 1970s and 1980s, has made the difficult decision to cancel their upcoming European tour. The band, fronted by lead singer Ann Wilson, was set to kick off the European leg of their Royal Flush Tour in Antwerp, Belgium on June 20. However, due to a time-sensitive medical procedure that Ann Wilson needs to undergo with a long recovery period, the tour has been called off.
Reason for Cancellation
The band expressed their deep regret in having to cancel the tour, citing Ann Wilson’s upcoming medical procedure as the reason. The procedure requires a minimum recovery time of six weeks, forcing Heart to cancel all their upcoming performances in Europe. The band hopes to return to Europe in the future and has assured fans that refunds will be available for purchased tickets.

Their chart-topping singles such as “Magic Man,” “Crazy on You,” and “Barracuda” in the 70s, followed by hits like “These Dreams” and “Alone” in the 1980s, have solidified their place in rock music history.
The band’s Royal Flush Tour was highly anticipated as it would have seen Ann and Nancy Wilson reunite on stage, performing alongside other talented musicians. Fans were eagerly awaiting the opportunity to see the iconic duo back in action.
