From today's L. A. Times:

"Ann Wilson, the lead singer of rock band Heart, is battling cancer and will be stepping back from the Royal Flush Tour for the remainder of the year to focus on her health and recovery.

Wilson, 74, shared the news with fans in a heartfelt post Tuesday on Instagram, detailing her health and expressing her regret over the tour postponement. “I recently underwent an operation to remove something that, as it turns out, was cancerous,” she wrote. “The operation was successful & I’m feeling great but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy & I’ve decided to do it.”

The Royal Flush Tour, which included more than 50 shows across the United States and Canada, will be rescheduled to 2025. The tour was set to feature performances from Heart alongside bands including Def Leppard and Journey, but it is unclear whether those acts will join the tour for its rescheduled dates."
