Heart’s triumphant tour: Ann Wilson performs after cancer battle
Heart's 2025 Royal Flush tour began with a strong comeback at the BleauLive Theater in Las Vegas, their first live performance since Ann Wilson's 2024 cancer-related hiatus. As the band performed a dynamic set that mixed surprises with classics, fans praised both their music and their tenacity.
Opening with Bebe Le Strange, they powered through Crazy on You, Magic Man, and Barracuda, while ballads like These Dreams, Alone, and What About Love highlighted their softer side. Nancy Wilson's tribute 4 Edward and a Led Zeppelin cover added depth, with Sand from their Lovemongers project appearing in the encore before Barracuda closed the show.
