Legendary Heart co-founder Nancy Wilson has shared her story with Billy Corgan on his podcast 'The Magnificent Others'.

In a candid conversation, Wilson reflects on her nomadic childhood shaped by military life, seeing The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, and falling in love with the guitar.

She revisits the Vancouver club grind, the rare alchemy of sibling harmony, and earning credibility in a male-dominated rock world.

Wilson also looks back on the 80s era of big hair, outside songwriters, and creative compromise, before turning personal around her sister Ann - her once-in-a-generation gift, what it demands, and the isolation that comes when identity is inseparable from the stage.

"Weeks after joining forces with Carrie Underwood for a live performance of 'Alone', Heart has made headlines once more.

Wilson talks about scoring movies like Elizabethown and Almost Famous, being a trailblazing woman guitarist in a male-dominated industry in the ’70s, what's next for Heart in terms of albums and a movie, and much more.

"Discussing her five-decade career as a bona fide rock star, Wilson shared: β€œI’m in a phase right now where I feel like creating some new songs.

But I figure we need to make one more Heart album, especially with these players that we have in the lineup right now in this band.

We’re just really excited to play together.” "The episode is now available on Apple Podcasts.

The conversation offers an unsentimental look at what it takes to build something that survives trends, egos, and time.
