Bassist Mark Andes and drummer Denny Carmassi, members of Heart during the band's mid-'80s resurgence, have filed a lawsuit against the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for using their likenesses in promoting the band's 2013 induction -- even though they themselves were not inducted.
The learning curve of any band, particularly as live performers, is a tricky minefield to navigate of the course of a career. But for Heart, it's resulted in a more versatile band than ever. In an exclusive interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, singer Ann Wilson told us about how the band led by her and her sister Nancy have evolved onstage since their beginnings in the '70s.
Since announcing their decision to cancel a planned performance at Orlando's SeaWorld, Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson have had some time to think about their position on the park's treatment of its captive animals -- and they're still pretty steamed.
Heart's 2012 career-spanning stop at the Caesars Colosseum in Windsor, Ontario, will be released on multiple video and audio formats in February. 'Fanatic Live From Caesars Colosseum' will showcase many of the band's classic songs as well as a number of tracks from their most recent studio album, 2012's 'Fanatic.'
Heart has joined the growing ranks of musicians refusing to play SeaWorld, pulling out of an upcoming show there over concerns about how the venue treats their captive whales.
If all you want for Christmas is two Wilson sisters singing with a bunch of famous friends, you're going to love what Heart has in store for you on Dec. 25.
Heart fans in attendance at the band's June 18 Tampa gig were given a surprise treat -- along with band member Ann Wilson, who received a birthday serenade from her sister Nancy.
