Ann Wilson needs to hang it up

[Traxan]

This is a painful end to a legacy of greatness. Hearing her croak out this signature song is sad and embarrassing, not to mention the sight of her in a wheelchair.

I guess she has no one around her to tell her Ann, you need to stop.

[Love_Industry]

Heart cancelled the show I was going to see last year due to her illness. So she needs to Di'Anno it out at least until they come to Sweden again!
Bucket list band, never saw them and they seem to only have played one concert here ever, Sweden Rock in 2004.

She needs to get healthy or else she just might end up like Di'Anno.

[LSD69]

They must either need the money or they can’t get out of a contract, because that’s fucking pathetic.

Could it be ego

[pieceofme]

Nothing screams rock n' roll more than performing in a wheelchair! Pathetic.

Glad I saw them 10 years when they were still good.

[Anthrax442]

She still sounds better than half the people we discuss on here, which is impressive. I would think sitting down would effect a singer's ability to use their diaphragm properly.

Good Q. Axl sounded phenomenal when he was seated with AC/DC

[LitaStrauss]

I saw them last year and she sounded much better than that clip. She didn't have the breath she used to have to maintain the notes but she was at least close to hitting them. I didn't feel ripped off and could cross them off the bucket list.

But yeah, different story now. Sitting in a wheelchair is depressing. At least get her like a cool throne or something. Otherwise it's like watching karaoke night at the old folks home.

[TeslaFan]

Didn’t sound so great here but this is the one of the finest female rock voices of all time. She’s top 3 on most everyone’s list. Every time I’ve seen them live she was on another level. She’s been in terrible health, self inflicted but gosh you still have to give her a ton of credit.

[JamesHetfieldsAcneScars]

What's wrong with her, why is she in a wheelchair? Do her and sis still hate each other?

This. I get that Dianno was playing tiny clubs with a surrogate band, but these are fucking theaters. You could afford a chair that doesnt make you look like it's the nursing home.

[Hatchets Molly]

She'll be Jack Russell caliber soon.

[Wiseacre]

If the wireless unit or whatever the issues was is completely fucking up the opening riff of your most iconic song. Stop and switch guitars ffs. That guitar shit made the whole thing look like a Heart Shreds video. Poor Ann sounds pretty damn rough, but she’s still the GOAT.

They have never played here, I had tickets to see them last year, but they cancelled. Performing in wheelchair is sad, she should just retire.

[DangerZone]

I didn’t think she sounded that bad.
And I couldn’t see she was in a chair

Deaf. Blind. Hopefully not dumb too.

She was talking the tough parts. Those would have been even worse than the parts she did try to sing.

[War_in_D]

I think she is still undergoing chemotherapy for the undisclosed cancer she was treated for last summer. That would explain why she's unable to stand through an entire show...being exhausted and whatnot.

I didn’t listen to the whole thing but it certainly wasn’t modern Stanley, jovi or Dokken level

That’s true, but none of them could hold a candle to Ann in their prime, which makes her situation much more tragic.

[Michael Hotts Ghost]

Yes, previous poster was right, that was like a St Sanders shred video ... ouch.

Get her a damn throne like everyone else is saying.

This kind of proves the argument for lip syncing. Who wants to sit through this? Ok they can't afford to quit or don't want to but get some help on the tough high notes or something. It is completely cringe otherwise.

[Billy Jack]

She needs to pay Gretchen Wilson to sing off stage while she "Milli's" that song!

I think Gretchen has lost it at this point too... The Plush girl would be the one to get.

[FreddyFender]

Thanks for posting this - Mrs Fender got an ad for a show here in Phoenix this coming week and asked if we should go. I almost said “sure” before remembering there was a thread about the tour.

We watched the video - yikes! I’ve got low standards when it comes to aged acts, but this is a fridge too far.

[TeslaFan]

We need Ken Tamplin reaction video to rate this performance. I think he might defend this and say sometimes the show must go on.

[fatscott]

Better than Roth, Pearcy, Vince Neil, Don Dokken...etc, etc.

[Tenacious_Dio]

That was then, this is now.

[LSD69]

Ann is in a wheelchair because she broke her elbow.

The wheelchair is depressing, her voice isn't great but man, their setlist stinks. I wouldn't pay to see them based on that alone. They hate their "hair metal" era for sure & still with the cover songs. Bowie's "Let's Dance"? Is anyone asking for that?

[Jason Jennifer Leigh]

Now she’s short and gray for obvious reasons .. although she’s probably been wearing a wig for40 years.

In a wheelchair because she broke her arm?

Yeah, this is depressing as hell.
