Ann Wilson, the lead singer of Heart, has been performing in a wheelchair during the band’s 2025 ‘Royal Flush’ tour due to an injury sustained shortly before the tour commenced. Five days prior to the tour’s start, Wilson experienced a fall resulting in a fractured elbow. She described the incident, stating, “It’s about me being a klutz and missing a step and falling into a parking lot and busting my elbow in three places and then having to have it pinned back together with screws and all that kind of stuff.”
This injury has temporarily limited the use of her left arm, necessitating the use of a wheelchair during performances to maintain balance and focus on her vocals. Wilson explained her decision to perform seated, mentioning, “I chose to sit because then I can just concentrate on singing and not on keeping my balance and having somebody out there catching me when I reel to the side.”
It’s important to note that Wilson’s use of a wheelchair is unrelated to her previous battle with cancer. She clarified this misconception by stating, “I think some people thought that I was in a wheelchair because of cancer, which I just kicked its ass and I’m nice and clear now.”
Despite this setback, Wilson remains committed to delivering strong performances and assures fans that her use of the wheelchair is a temporary measure during her recovery.
