Nancy Wilson made a surprise appearance at Ann Wilson's solo show in Santa Rosa, Calif. on Tuesday (October 10). This marked the first time the Heart sisters performed together since 2019.
Nancy took to the stage during the final song of Ann's 19-song set, where they performed the Heart classic "Barracuda."
This moment is certainly a promising one for the Wilson sisters, whose relationship has appeared rocky in recent years. The issues between Ann and Nancy stem from an incident in 2016. Ann's husband, Dean Wetter, was arrested after he assaulted Nancy's then 16-year-old twin sons backstage at a Heart show. However, Ann said in an interview with Rock Candy in April 2022 there was no rift. she explained, "Things happen in families, and that was a really good example of something that happened within a family, and we worked it out."
Part of "working it out" appeared to include Nancy touring under the name Nancy Wilson's Heart. As previously reported, Nancy Wilson's Heart came to be after Nancy and Ann Wilson had a touring disagreement.
"Heart had a big offer on the table last year for a bigger tour, but Ann wasn't interested in going out with my lineup of guys that we were out with before," said Nancy. "She has a new lineup of guys that she wanted me to join up with, and I sort of [thought] I don't really know them and don't have loyalty yet for anybody like that."
Here's hoping Nancy's guest appearance during Ann's show will lead to these two icons joining forces full-time again.
There were a bunch of classic '80s cover songs, but some covers are so good you may not have known they were actually covers.
