Ann & Nancy Wilson Set to Reunite in 2024 Heart Tour
The rock band Heart, best known for their songs “Barracuda,” “Crazy on You” and “These Dreams” has been on and off since they started in 1973. Sisters and bandmates Ann and Nancy Wilson have had their share of ups and downs together but now they are back with a new tour. The Royal Flush Tour is going to be the first time they have toured together since 2019 and to prepare for the tour, the sisters had to have some true heart-to-hearts.
Ann admitted, “We’re talking. We’re fine together. We just felt it, so why not? The common ground is that we both want it to be excellent and we both want it to be absolutely Heart. We just basically put it together and said, ‘Let’s go!’” The sisters revealed that their first band breakup came in 1977 when there was a legal fight between two record companies that halted their music releases. Then in 1995, Nancy wanted to take a break from music to raise her family.

In 2016, things got worse for the sisters when Ann’s husband was arrested for allegedly striking one of Nancy’s children. Of course, this caused some issues between the sisters and threatened the ongoing music creation and touring for the band. While they toured again in 2019, things were reportedly still very tense.

Nancy said, “There’s so many things, circumstantially, since 2019. A lot of it’s just family drama and unavoidable, and just other stuff people wanted to do besides Heart. So we were off doing our own things for a little while, and there was also this little interruption called the pandemic.” Both sisters released solo music in recent years but now they are back at it, visiting cities around the country such as Detroit, New Orleans, and San Antonio.
