Ann Wilson Of Heart Reminisces On Her Big Hair Era In The ’80s

On October 21, Heart’s lead vocalist Ann Wilson headlined the Women Who Rock Benefit Concert. During a recent interview with People ahead of the event, the singer shared some nostalgic memories about the prevalent fashion style from the early days of their rock band.

During the discussion, Ann became the center of attention after a topic popped up about the sheer quantity of hair spray cans that probably occupied the band’s dressing room back in those days, due to the singer and sister, Nancy Wilson’s extravagant hairstyle at that time.

Responding to the question, Ann humorously reflected that they were not solely reliant on hairspray as they had an adventurous and extravagant approach to their appearance and style.
