A Heartbreaking Theft Before the Tour

Legendary rock band HEART finds itself in a distressing situation as two of their most cherished instruments were stolen right before the commencement of their highly-anticipated spring/summer 2025 tour, "An Evening With Heart." This shocking event unfolded on May 30 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, just a day before their first concert.

The Instruments That Hold Immense Value

The stolen items include a one-of-a-kind purple sparkle baritone Telecaster, specifically crafted for Nancy Wilson, and a vintage 1966 Gibson EM-50 mandolin that Paul Moak has cherished and played for over 25 years. These instruments are not just equipment; they hold sentimental value and are seen as extensions of the musicians' artistic identities.

A Call for Help and a Reward Offered

In a passionate plea, HEART reached out to fans and the public for assistance. They have announced a reward for any information leading to the recovery of these priceless items. Fans with tips are encouraged to contact the band's tour manager, Tony Moon. Nancy Wilson expressed the magnitude of their loss: "We're heartbroken, and we're asking for their safe return — no questions asked. Their value to us is immeasurable."

Exciting Tour Plans Ahead!

Despite this setback, HEART is ready to dazzle audiences during their tour, which officially kicked off on May 31. Fans can expect an unforgettable experience with the band performing two distinct sets each night, culminating on June 28 in Hollywood, Florida.

A Look Back at HEART's Journey

HEART has a storied history, recently marking their return to the stage after a four-year hiatus with shows in December 2023. Their last concert before then was in October 2019, after navigating years of estrangement between the Wilson sisters. They are not just rock legends but have a deep-rooted connection with their original lineup, which reunited during their 2013 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Fans and music lovers everywhere are encouraged to keep an eye out for these instruments. HEART's heartfelt message underlines the importance of community in supporting and protecting the art we cherish. Let's join together and help bring these irreplaceable treasures back home!
