Play Heart and Neil Young Extra Loud Today

It is been a grim week for our rock heroes on the road: Coronary heart and Neil Younger have both canceled their 2024 tours owing to health problems. Ann Wilson, Heart’s direct singer, shared on July 2 that a cancer diagnosis will render her unable to complete right until 2025 at the earliest. “I a short while ago underwent an procedure to get rid of a little something that, as it turns out, was cancerous,” she wrote. “The procedure was effective and I’m sensation excellent but my doctors are now advising me to endure a class of preventative chemotherapy and I’ve determined to do it.” Wilson mentioned she “absolutely” designs to keep on the band’s tour — which was currently a little bit of a logistical miracle with Ann and her sister, Nancy Wilson, conquering a long time of estrangement — next calendar year.

Heart’s cancellation follows Young and Ridiculous Horse previous 7 days, as “a few of” band associates bought way too ill to proceed jamming. (It’s unspecified which of the four customers are unwell.) “We are still not absolutely recovered, so unfortunately our wonderful tour will have a large unplanned break,” they spelled out in a June 26 assertion. “We will consider to engage in some of the dates we miss out on as time passes when we are completely ready to rock yet again.” At least Willie Nelson and his fabulous braids are cleared to carry out once again following an outlaw-sanctioned clinical depart. That said, paging Dr. Wu, is Donald Fagen still doing all right?
