The classic rock band Heart had their tour plans marred when a thief took some of the band's precious gear as it prepared to kick off the latest leg of their tour on May 31 at the Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Among the items missing is a custom-built, purple sparkle baritone Telecaster with a hand-painted headstock, made specifically for Nancy Wilson. Also stolen was a vintage 1966 Gibson EM-50 mandolin that band member Paul Moak has played for over 25 years.

“These instruments are more than just tools of our trade—they’re extensions of our musical souls,” said Nancy Wilson in a statement. “The baritone Tele was made uniquely for me, and Paul’s mandolin has been with him for decades. We’re heartbroken, and we’re asking for their safe return—no questions asked. Their value to us is immeasurable.”
Fans with information about the instruments are urged to come forward and contact the band’s tour manager, Tony Moon at [email protected] with any leads.
Despite the theft, Heart is continuing their Royal Flush Tour with special guest Todd Rundgren Tuesday, June 3 in Lexington, Ky. The band’s current tour runs through Aug. 30 in Bethel, N.Y.
Heart singer Ann Wilson has been performing seated after she survived a battle with cancer last year. The singer took a fall in a parking lot earlier this year and broke her elbow in three places, prompting her to perform seated to avoid any further injuries.
