Blabbermouth: In a new interview with Nancy discussed a possible follow-up to the band’s latest album, 2016’s “Beautiful Broken”. She said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I go through these phases. Like right now I’m in a phase of really feeling like creating some new songs. And I’ve got songs going on. But I feel like this is the perfect time for HEART — like this year, next year — to make a victory lap out of our legacy. So I figure we need to make one more HEART album. And especially with these players that we have in the lineup right now in this band. We’re just really excited to play together, and there’s no kind of limits on what we could kind of pull off as musicians. So I’ve got a few songs, and Ann’s working with those guys in her side band right now writing other songs. But I think I’m gonna want to make the last HEART album and do the victory lap and make 2027 mainly about the HEART film, the HEART documentary.”
Updated February 28th 2026: Nancy: Yeah, we are getting what probably is going to be our final [screenplay] draft handed to us for the Heart film from Carrie Brownstein from the band Sleater-Kinney and the show Portlandia with Fred Armisen. Hopefully we’ll start casting for that soon. Plus we’re looking at making a Heart album and a Heart documentary at the same time. So we kind of have couple years left in us probably to do a 2027 farewell tour.
Updated March 5th 2026: (Nancy) Wilson said Heart is working on a new album. It will be a mix of music from Ann Wilson’s backing band, Tripsitter, pieces Nancy Wilson wrote with Sue Ennis, and music the Wilson sisters will create together.
Updated March 9th 2026: inforum.com: The end of the tour will come with a little downtime, but the Wilson sisters will keep busy. The rest of the year they will be helping in a biopic about the band. There’s also a separate documentary they are aiding with. On top of that, the group is working on its first album of new material in 10 years.
Updated March 17th 2026: Variety: Beyond the screening tour, Wilson will be doing dates this summer with her side band, Tripsitter, in Japan, Australia and Hawaii, before Heart returns to the road in 2027. “I don’t stop working,” she says.
I t sounds like Heart is going to eventually be “wrapping it up” as a band. (Please don’t.) As poems are popular around here, wrapping it up reminds me of this poem.
Old Ghosts and Dust
There are houses I have lived in
that still hold my breath in the floorboards.
There are versions of me walking
through halls I haven’t seen in years.
They are still there, I think.
Sitting at a kitchen table that isn’t mine anymore,
or staring out a window at a view
I no longer recognize.
We leave so much of ourselves behind.
Little scraps of who we were,
gathered like dust in the corners,
waiting for a broom that never comes.
It is a strange thing, to be haunted
by your own ghost.
To know that somewhere, in a room
you’ve forgotten the smell of,
you are still young, and still waiting
for the rest of your life to begin.
