Published February 3, 2024

Ann Wilson, the powerhouse vocalist and frontwoman of the acclaimed rock band Heart, has not lost a step as the 73-year-old embarks on a world tour with her group. Wilson, who has maintained her renowned appearance, leaving fans in awe of her seemingly ageless beauty, is set to perform across the US, Canada, and Europe in the coming months.

Heart's Enduring Legacy

Since first rising to fame in the 1970s, Ann Wilson and Heart have sold more than 35 million records, secured four Grammy nominations, and produced a string of hits including Magic Man, Crazy on You, and Barracuda. Their covers, such as the unforgettable rendition of Alone, have echoed through the ages, cementing Heart's place in rock history.

The Royal Flush Tour

Announcing the Royal Flush Tour earlier this week, Heart has lined up a series of performances that will continue their legacy of live shows renowned for their energy and Ann's commanding vocals. They will be sharing the stage with big names like Journey and Def Leppard on some dates and will be joined by special guest Squeeze for their UK performances. The tour is sure to elicit nostalgia and create new memories for fans both of the classics and of their newer works, like their 2016 album Beautiful Broken.

Celebrating a Timeless Rock Icon

Fans and followers have taken to social media to praise Ann Wilson, not just for her vocal prowess, lauded as 'the greatest voice in the history of rock', but also for her ageless style. Despite decades of changing styles and the evolution of music, Ann continues to resonate with audiences, both old and new, who admire her natural aging process and the longevity of her vibrant stage presence.

A Band with History

Heart, often noted as the first rock band fronted by a woman, was formed by Ann alongside guitarist Roger Fisher and bassist Steve Fossen. They have faced and overcome shifts in lineup and popularity, always emerging with an evolving sound and fervent fanbase. Ann's sister Nancy Wilson, along with past members such as drummer Michael Derosier and Howard Leese, remain an integral part of Heart's distinct sound and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Ann in 2013.

Anticipation for the Royal Flush Tour

The upcoming Royal Flush Tour has sparked a wave of excitement among Heart's devoted fans, eager to see Ann and Nancy Wilson's live collaboration once more. With performances scheduled across several major cities in the UK including London, Birmingham, and Manchester, tickets have become a coveted item for those looking to witness the ageless rock legend and her band in action.
