Legendary
vocalist Ann Wilson has denied rumours of a rift with her sister Nancy,
while confirming that she’d like to make another record with their
group Heart.
Relations between the two
sisters were considered to be at an all-time low after a much-publicised
incident when Ann’s husband was arrested during a Heart tour in 2016.
But in a new, wide-ranging, and exclusive interview with Rock Candy Mag
to coincide with the release of her new solo album, ‘Fierce Bliss’, Ann
insists that there is no feud between her and Nancy.
“Things
happen in families,” she explains. “And that was a really good example
of something that happened within a family, and we worked it out. But
the part that made it hard was that it happened in the public eye. If it
had happened privately, we’d have got the family in a room and sat down
and worked it out between us. Instead, the police were called, and this
myth was born that Nancy and I were feuding, and we were at each
other’s throats all the time. And it’s really not like that at all.”
A
proposed Heart tour fell through last year after the two sisters failed
to agree on which backing band to use. Ann wanted her guys, Nancy
didn’t. But Ann now says that another Heart album, which would be the
band’s first since 2016’s ‘Beautiful Broken’, is a definite possibility,
especially considering the fact that 2023 marks Heart’s 50th
anniversary.
“It depends on the
songs,” she says in her Rock Candy Mag interview. “The songs lead
everything. And I’m writing songs again now. I don’t know if they’ll be
for my solo thing or for Heart. But yes, I would like to make another
Heart album.”
And there’s more good
news for fans of the singer who’s sold more than 35 million albums and
has recorded US Top 10 albums in four different decades. Retirement is
completely out of the question for Ann Wilson, even at the age of 71.
“I
just can’t think of a time when I would retire or go do something
else,” she says. “This is a calling for me. It’s what I was put here to
do, and I’ll do it for as long as I can.”
