ANOTHER HEART-BREAK ... FOR ANN WILSON:
Like Ann Wilson of Heart hasn't already had enough of a bad last year and a half ...
She's now performing onstage in a WHEELCHAIR!!!
(No, it's not what you think ... thank God!)
We told you the other day that Heart has already booked a follow-up tour to their Royal Flush Tour currently running, during which time they'll be performing two sets per night without a warm-up act.
This latest set-back has nothing to do with her cancer battle from last year. As Ann explains it:
“I think some people thought that I was in a wheelchair because of cancer, which I just kicked its ass and I’m nice and clear now. It’s not about cancer.
“It’s about me being a klutz and missing a step and falling into a parking lot and busting my elbow in three places and then having to have it pinned back together with screws and all that kind of stuff.
“In other ways, I’m perfectly fine. It’s just I don’t have the use of my left arm right now. So it’s hard to navigate when you just have one hand and your other whole arm is in a sling …
“And you don’t have the same balance. So I had to get used to that. And singing on stage, I really think that the pain level is still way too high for me to take it out of the sling so I chose to sit because then I can just concentrate on singing and not on keeping my balance and having somebody out there catching me when I reel to the side.”
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Ann. (I'm sure there was NO way Heart was going to postpone and reschedule dates again ... and Ann is still in fine voice ... so as long as this allows her to do what she LOVES to do, then more power to her!) kk
