Heart have announced the resumption of their Royal Flush tour, which was abandoned earlier this year to allow singer Ann Wilson to undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy. Confirming the news, Wilson wrote. "The best is yet to come!"

The new run of dates begins on February 28 at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, NV., and climaxes on April 5 at the Videotron Centre in Quebec, ON. 

In late May, Heart cancelled their scheduled European tour so that Ann Wilson could undergo what she described as a "routine medical procedure", and the remaining dates were cancelled in early July.

“I underwent an operation to remove something that, as it turns out, was cancerous,” Wilson said. “The operation was successful and I’m feeling great but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy and I’ve decided to do it. 

"And so my doctors are instructing me to take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover. To the ticket buyers, I really do wish we could do these gigs. Please know that I absolutely plan to be back on stage in 2025. My team is getting those details sorted and we’ll let you know the plan as soon as we can."

The band's European dates have not yet been rescheduled. Full dates below.
