Credit: Kimberly AdamisHeart‘s Ann Wilson has announced plans for her first-ever solo TV special, which will feature performances from a just-scheduled concert she’ll play with her current band this Wednesday at the Arcada Theatre in St. Louis. At the show, Wilson will be singing a variety of Heart tunes, as well as songs from her solo career, including cover tunes that will appear on her forthcoming studio album, Immortal.

More details about the special, including the air date, will be revealed soon. As previously reported, Immortal will feature songs by various well-known artists who have died over the last few years. Among the confirmed tunes that Ann has recorded for the project are Lesley Gore‘s “You Don’t Own Me,” Amy Winehouse‘s “Back to Black,” The Eagles‘ “Life in the Fast Lane” and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers‘ “Luna.”
