Nancy Wilson<\/a> said she wants to make one more Heart<\/a> album and take a “victory lap” to celebrate the band’s half-century legacy alongside her sister and bandmate Ann Wilson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The guitarist and singer\u00a0reflected on her desire to follow up Heart’s most recent album, 2016’s\u00a0Beautiful Broken<\/a>, in a\u00a0new interview with\u00a0Andy Frasco’s World Saving Podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I go \u200athrough these phases. Right now I’m in a phase of really feeling like creating some new songs. And I’ve got songs going on,” Wilson said. “But I feel like this is the perfect time for\u00a0Heart \u2014 this year, next year \u2014 to make a victory lap out of our legacy. So I figure we need to make one more\u00a0Heart album.”<\/p>\n

Wilson also praised the current heart lineup, which features members of Ann’s solo band Tripsitter. “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 limits on what we could pull off as musicians,” she said. “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\u00a0Heart album and do the victory lap and make 2027 mainly about the\u00a0Heart film, the\u00a0Heart documentary.”<\/p>\n

What to Expect From the In-Progress Heart Biopic<\/p>\n

A Heart biopic, which has reportedly been in the works for years<\/a>, is now close to fruition, according to Wilson \u2014 and it’s got some big names attached to it.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got a big movie, and we’ve got a final draft soon to read that Carrie Brownstein, actually [is working on] \u2014 she did Portlandia, of\u00a0Sleater-Kinney fame \u2014 she’s a buddy and she’s a good writer too,”\u00a0Wilson said. “And we’ve been working mainly with her … And it’s so weird too, ’cause you kind of have to go, well, OK, who would be the actor that plays you?”<\/p>\n

Wilson had some casting ideas too. She\u00a0named Elle Fanning (of\u00a0The Great and\u00a0A Complete Unknown<\/a> fame, among others) as a\u00a0candidate to play her, and she suggested Midsommar star\u00a0Florence Pugh\u00a0could play her sister.<\/p>\n

Nancy Wilson Still Loves Making Music \u2014 but Says Touring Is ‘Entirely Exhausting’<\/p>\n

Clearly, there’s still work to be done for Heart, as the rockers will launch the 2026 leg of their Royal Flush tour<\/a> on Sunday.\u00a0But Wilson confessed that the road has lost some of its luster over the years.<\/p>\n

When asked if the\u00a0idea of a “victory lap” seemed weird, she said: “Kind of, but then as the grandchildren start arriving? Not as crazy to think about doing less of the big rock tour. I mean, it’s entirely exhausting to do that travel. And when you’re not quite as young and rubbery as you always were, going through almost 50 years-ish of doing that, you really get paid for the travel on those rock tours.<\/p>\n

“The show itself is the thrill \u2014 the million thrills and the glory and that magic thing,”\u00a0Wilson added. “I would do that for free, and I probably will end up doing music somehow for as long as I can live. But the tour part, it’s really rough on you.”<\/p>\n
