Heart's Ann Wilson has been performing on stage in a wheelchair, following a nasty fall just days before her tour.
Wilson was diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer and underwent surgery last year. Having since completed her chemotherapy, Wilson revealed that her ongoing health issues are down to a recent fall in a car park, injuring her elbow.
"I think some people thought that I was in a wheelchair because of cancer, which I just kicked its a** and I'm nice and clear now. It's not about cancer", she said. "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".
Despite her recent troubles, Ann Wilson has assured fans that she is doing "perfectly fine".
"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 …", Wilson stated.
"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".
Having kicked off their North American tour last month (February 28), Heart will play a run of shows there until August, concluding with a gig at The Great Allentown, Pennsylvania on the 27th of that month.
