Ann Wilson Announces New Version of “Heart” w Slash & Michael Anthony
Ann Wilson revealed in a recent interview with Madhouse News that she intends to head out on the road this year with her own version of “Heart”. She will call the new band, Ann Wilson’s Heart. Her sister, Nancy Wilson is out! Slash will be the new guitarist for the band.
Slash of Guns n Roses fame will replace Nancy on guitar and will fly back and forth to play for Guns n Roses, Heart and a number of other bands. In addition to Slash, Michael Anthony from Van Halen will play bass. Slash also brought his buddy Matt Sorum to play drums. Sorum is the Ted McGinley of rock n roll. Whenever a band needs a drummer they bring in Sorum.
Ann Wilson & Heart
Nancy Wilson recently announced that she formed her own version of the band called “Nancy Wilson’s Heart.” Her sister Ann is out as the singer and Nancy’s version will feature Axl Rose on vocals. It sounds as if jealousy has sparked Ann’s decision to form a Heart band with Axl’s partner Slash. Nancy commented, “It’s just like in High School when I started dating Ann’s ex boyfriend Alec Shroyer. To get me back, Ann then started dating Alec’s dad.”
Ann and Nancy Wilson formed Heart in Seattle, Washington in 1967. They hit it big with their 1975 classic album, “Dreamboat Annie”. Heart went on to sell over 35 million records worldwide, including approximately 7 albums in Chile. As sisters they have had many feuds and battles over the years.
The sisters had a huge fight in 2016 and the band broke up. The reason for the fight was, Ann borrowed Nancy’s favorite sweater and stretched the neck. “It was completely destroyed by her big bulbous head” said Nancy. “Get your own damn sweater.”
F*ck Nancy
Ann Wilson commented, “I first asked Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin to form a band because I knew that would really piss Nancy off. It was going to be awesome and I was going to call the band “F*ck Nancy”. Jimmy and John were busy and could not commit so I called Slash. WTF is Jimmy and John busy doing I have no idea.
The sparks are sure to fly when the dueling Heart bands will be on the same bill this summer. Ann Wilson’s Heart, Nancy Wilson’s Heart, Brian Wilson and Wilson Phillips will all be performing at the annual WilsonPalooza in La Paz, Bolivia. Stay tuned as the saga of the Wilson sisters continue.
