HEART singer Ann Wilson has offered an update on her health, less than three months after she announced the band was canceling its tour so that she could undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy following a cancer diagnosis.
Earlier today (Wednesday, September 25),the 74-year-old musician shared an audio message in which she said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “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.
“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, 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. There’s 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.
“I’m immensely grateful to everyone who prayed and sent me those good vibes,” she continued. “I’ve so felt your love. My story has a happy ending, due in part to early detection. My advice? Get checked regularly.
