Legendary rock band Heart is showing no signs of slowing down. The band has announced an extension of their Royal Flush tour, adding a new run of U.S. dates set for early 2026. The tour, which originally launched in 2024, had been temporarily paused as frontwoman Ann Wilson underwent cancer treatment.

The newly scheduled shows will begin on February 15 in Duluth, Georgia, and wrap up on March 15 in Fishers, Indiana. Singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams will join as a special guest for select performances.

Tickets for the new dates go on sale to the general public this Friday, with the complete tour itinerary covering late 2025 through early 2026.

Ann Wilson’s Health Battle: “Chemo Is No Joke”

The Royal Flush tour originally kicked off in 2024 but was forced to delay several dates due to Ann Wilson’s cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment. The iconic vocalist later opened up about the experience, saying, “Chemo is no joke. It takes a lot out of a person.”

Despite the physical toll, Wilson has remained determined to return to the stage. Her resilience and commitment to performing have been praised by fans and peers alike, making the 2026 tour dates all the more meaningful.

“This film is my story in my own words, told the way I’ve always wanted to tell it,” Wilson said in an official statement. “I can’t wait to take you behind the scenes of my music and my story.”

“WHEN COUNTRY MUSIC REMEMBERS, IT FEELS LIKE FAMILY.” Alan Jackson didn’t walk onto that stage to shine — he walked on to say thank you. And when Nancy Jones took his arm, the whole room went still. You could feel it… that mix of love, loss, and pride that only George Jones’ name can stir. The lights were soft, the crowd quiet, almost like they were holding their breath. Alan strummed those first notes, and Nancy looked up with that gentle smile — the one she always saved for George. In that moment, it didn’t feel like a tribute show. It felt like a living memory. Two generations standing together, singing for the man who taught them what heartbreak could sound like. And somehow, for a few minutes, it felt like “The Possum” was right there with them.

SIGOURNEY WEAVER ON THE LETTER SHE WROTE JOHN LENNON — AND WHY SHE HOPES IT NEVER SURVIVED 💌👀 Long before Hollywood fame, Sigourney Weaver was just another Beatles superfan. She once wrote John Lennon a five-page letter in purple ink, folded it up, and quietly left it at a restaurant he was rumored to visit. Decades later, she laughs about it — and admits she hopes it was thrown away. From screaming crowds at the Hollywood Bowl to a fleeting wave from Lennon himself, Weaver’s memories capture Beatlemania at its most intense — awkward, overwhelming, and unforgettable.

While many rock icons transformed private jets into symbols of excess and ego, Paul McCartney chose something far quieter — and far more lasting. A simple aircraft. No gold. No spectacle. Just a small, almost invisible handwritten line near the cabin door, written years ago for Linda McCartney, like a love note never meant to be found. 💖 It’s a gentle, deeply personal homage to the woman who anchored him through grief-filled songwriting, silent tours, losses, reunions, and countless late-night landings. Fans who learn of it are often stopped in their tracks by the same realization: even at 40,000 feet — long after fame had lost its meaning — rock’s greatest romantic wasn’t flying on luxury or pride, but on remembrance, devotion, and a promise he never let go of. 👉 WATCH BELOW 👇👇👇

“We hadn’t really rehearsed.” In September 1969, while The Beatles still existed “on paper,” John Lennon walked onto the Toronto stage like a man with nowhere left to hide. No Paul to smooth the edges, no George to add colour, no Ringo to hold the centre — just a band thrown together in 24 hours: Eric Clapton, Klaus Voormann, Alan White… and Yoko Ono standing as an equal presence, not in the background. By most accounts, John was so terrified he vomited before going on. This wasn’t ordinary stage fright — it was something deeper: am I still enough without The Beatles? The set was rough, raw, sometimes shaky… but it was electric because for once the crowd wasn’t watching “Beatle John.” They were watching John Lennon, exposed and unfiltered, proving he could still stand on his own. And maybe right there — in that fear, and that survival — the “divorce” had already begun.
