Ann Wilson is giving fans an update on her health after getting diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.

“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,” the Heart singer said in a recorded statement posted on social media. 

“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!” Wilson declared.

She went on to add that she'll have to continue maintenance treatments; however, “the worst is over and I’m thankful for the efficacy of this poison — but it’s more than welcome to get the f**k out of my body now.”

Heart postponed their 2024 tour after Wilson's doctor found something cancerous during a routine checkup and she opted to go through preventative chemotherapy. They recently unveiled rescheduled tour dates slated for early 2025.
