‘The operation was a success and I feel very well, but my doctors now recommend that I undergo preventive chemotherapy treatment and I have decided to do so.’

Wilson said doctors had advised him to “take the rest of the year off the stage to fully recover,” cancelling Heart’s planned Royal Flush Tour with Cheap Trick, which was scheduled to begin July 30 in Cleveland and run through December.

“To ticket buyers, I really wish we could do these shows. I want you to know that I fully intend to be back on stage in 2025. My team is finalizing the details and we will update you on the plan as soon as possible.

‘Please know that I have every confidence in returning to the stage in 2025.’
