Heart have appealed for the return of a pair of "irreplaceable" instruments which were stolen from the band at the Etess Arena in Atlantic City, NJ, the venue for the opening night of their An Evening With Heart tour.
The stolen instruments included guitarist Nancy Wilson's unique, custom-built, purple sparkle baritone Telecaster with a hand-painted headstock, and a 1966 Gibson EM-50 mandolin owned by multi-instrumentalist Paul Moak, who joined the band in 2023.
"These instruments are more than just tools of our trade – they’re extensions of our musical souls,” says Nancy Wilson. "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."
"A reward is being offered for any information leading to their return," say the band. "Anyone with knowledge of the theft or whereabouts of the instruments is urged to come forward."
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the instruments is encouraged to contact the band's tour manager, Tony Moon.
The next show on Heart's schedule is at the Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, IL, on June 6. The band begin a run of dates in August with Todd Rundgren. Full dates below.
