Early life
Ann Dustin Wilson was born in San Diego, California. Her father served in the United States Marine Corps as a major. The Wilson family moved often due to her father's military service. They lived near American military installations in Panama and Taiwan before settling in Seattle, Washington, in the early 1960s. The Wilsons turned to music to keep a sense of home no matter where they were residing around the world. Nancy Wilson's sister Nancy Wilson said, "We'd have pancakes and opera on Sunday." "My dad would be doing in the living room." We'd like to move it up and rock. From classical music to Ray Charles, Judy Garland, Pepe Lee, the manager of a nova, and early experimental electronic music, there was something."
Wilson's family moved to Bellevue, a suburb of Seattle, Washington. She graduated from Sammamish High School in 1968. Wilson was searching for meaning in music after a stutter. She formed White Heart, a local band that later changed its name to Hocus Pocus, and Heart in 1974. Wilson attended Cornish College of the Arts as a student.
Personal life
Wilson was in a relationship with Michael Fisher, the manager of Heart, during the 1970s, while Nancy was involved with lead guitarist Roger Fisher, Michael Fisher, Michael Fisher's younger brother. Both couples owned the band. The marriages ended in 1979; Ann said Michael had fallen in love with another woman and she parted;
Ann Wilson adopted Marie and Dustin in 1991 and 1998.
Wilson married Dean Wetter in April 2015. The two people appeared in the 1980s for a brief period of time. Wetter was jailed for assaulting Nancy Wilson's 16-year-old twin brothers after the boys had left the door to his RV open on the morning of August 27, 2016. The incident occurred during a Heart concert at the White River Amphitheater in Auburn, Washington, the night before. Wetter pled guilty later.
The sisters' friendship was strained by the event. Following Heart's 2016 tour, the sisters decided to tour with their own side-project bands, with Ann announcing that Heart was on hiatus in April 2017.
The sisters announced in February 2019 that Heart's hiatus had ended and that the band will debut on the Love Alive tour in the summer. The sisters reunited on stage for the first time since the band went on hiatus in March 2019, at the Love Rocks NYC charity benefit concert.
Ann was mocked as an infant for being overweight. She said she would starve herself and use diet pills to remain thin in the 1970s and 1980s. Heart had gained a significant amount of weight by the time she made a comeback in the mid-80s. Fearing that Heart's lead singer's appearance might damage the band's reputation, record company executives and band members began urging her to lose weight. Ann's older sibling, Nancy, was often used in music videos, camera angles, and clothing to reduce her height, although more attention was placed on Ann's more slender sister, Nancy. Ann claims she started suffering from anxiety-related panic attacks as a result of the negative publicity surrounding her weight. After what she referred to as "a lifelong battle" with her weight, she underwent adjustable gastric band weight loss surgery in January 2002.
Ann collapsed in November 2009. Doctors found that she had liver disease as a result of alcohol use. Although she had stopped using other medications after adopting her daughter, she had raised her alcohol intake. Nancy and other family members and band members had been worried about her for some time, and they'd even arranged a break into a Heart tour to give Ann an opportunity to get medical attention. She ultimately underwent therapy on her own. Ann's autobiography, released in 2012, she chronicled her heroin use and alcoholism. She said she had been sober since 2009.
