Musical instruments, exclusive to Heart and belonging to Paul, have been pilfered just before their anticipated tour return, leaving the band heart-stricken.
Here Comes a Heart-Wrenching Tale 🚀
The Wilson family and Heart band aren't exactly experiencing the sweetest of successes lately. 🎵
First, they had to postpone the Royal Flush 50th anniversary tour earlier this year due to Anne undergoing cancer treatment. And just as they were finally preparing for the takeoff of their spring/summer "An Evening With Heart" tour, two absolute treasures - their precious guitars - vanished into thin air. 🎸
The tour kick-off was scheduled for 31 May at the Hard Rock in Atlantic City, and after a successful first night, the band left their gear unsecured overnight, only to discover a hefty absence in the morning. Two priceless instruments - a custom-built, one-of-a-kind purple sparkle baritone Telecaster with a personalized headstock, custom-crafted for Nancy Wilson; and a vintage 1966 Gibson EM-50 mandolin, a musical companion of band member Paul Moak for over two and a half decades - were nowhere to be seen. 🔍
Nancy Wilson expressed her disappointment, stating that the baritone Telecaster was crafted especially for her and inseparable from her musical spirit. As for Paul, the 1966 Gibson EM-50 mandolin had been an integral part of his musical legacy. 🎶
"These instruments are more than just our tools - they're extensions of our musical souls," Nancy explained. "We're absolutely devastated, and we're appealing for their safe return - no questions asked. Their worth to us is immeasurable." 💔
A reward is up for grabs for anyone with information about the missing instruments, considering their unique designs. It's highly probable that someone could spot them. 👀
