Heart's Ann Wilson undergoing preventive chemotherapy for cancer, band postpones tour

Ann Wilson, lead singer of the classic rock band Heart, is undergoing preventive chemotherapy after being diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer.

Wilson shared the news July 2 in a statement obtained by TODAY.com that also announced the band had postponed all remaining dates on the North American leg of its "Royal Flush Tour."

"I underwent an operation to remove something that, as it turns out, was cancerous," said Wilson, 74. "The operation was successful & I’m feeling great but my doctors are now advising me to undergo a course of preventive chemotherapy & I’ve decided to do it."

The "These Dreams" singer said her physicians have instructed her to "take the rest of the year away from the stage in order to fully recover."
