Heart cancel European tour as Ann Wilson undergoes routine medical procedure

Ann Wilson onstage.

Seattle rockers Heart have cancelled their upcoming European tour so that singer Ann Wilson can undergo a routine medical procedure. 

The band's schedule was due to begin at the Graspop Metal Meeting in Antwerp, Belgium, on June 20, with further festival appearances booked at Noway's Tons of Rock Festival and France's Hellfest before six UK shows with support from Squeeze in early July.

In a statement released on social media, the band say, "We regret to inform you that all upcoming Heart performances in Europe are cancelled.

"In late May, Ann Wilson will undergo a time-sensitive but routine medical procedure for which the minimum recovery time is six weeks.

"Heart deeply regrets this unfortunate circumstance and hopes to return to Europe soon. Refunds will be available at point of purchase as applicable."

Meanwhile, Ann Wilson has taken to twitter to placate concerned fans, saying, "I’m okay! Please don’t worry. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. It’s certainly an inconvenience for me. Love & respect always."

Heart successfully completed the US leg of their Royal Flush tour at the Etess Arena in Atlantic City, NJ, on May 24. The full list of cancelled shows is below.
