“My team is getting those details sorted & we’ll let you know the plan as soon as we can.”
“This is merely a pause. I’ve much more to sing. Respectfully, this is the last public statement l’d like to make on the matter,” Wilson concluded.
The singer, who along with her band members celebrated 50 years as a group in 2013, shared with People in 2022, “Back when I started, I didn’t even believe I’d live to be 30. In your early 20s, you just go, ‘I’ll never get old.’ I never dreamed it would go on 50 years. For me, it’s the bomb. When it’s all going right, there’s nothing like it.”
