Longtime member of the rock band Heart, Nancy Wilson, who joined the group in 1974, attended the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony to perform and honor the various inductees, but in particular, Soundgarden and Bad Company.
The guitarist, whose sister Ann Wilson is also a member of Heart, arrived at the red carpet dressed in rock glam, wearing a flowy black top over a sparkling skirt. She paired the outfit with high-heeled over-the-knee black boots and chic black sunglasses with rhinestones in the corners. Wilson added a pop of color with her pink lipstick and white-blonde hair with bright pink tips.

Inside the event, Wilson took the stage with Simon Kirke, the drummer of Bad Company, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, and singer-songwriter Bryan Adams to perform Bad Company's song, "Can't Get Enough."

Wilson has a personal connection to both Soundgarden and Bad Company. Both Heart and Soundgarden are originally from Seattle, Wash., and the members are known to be friends and respected colleagues.
In fact, Cornell inducted Heart into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. In his speech, he referred to Heart as his "hometown heroes," calling the Wilson sisters "two Joan of Arcs standing up front kicking total a--, backed by a surprisingly powerful and unique band, blasted down any sexist barriers in front of them."
Cornell went on, praising the members as he declared, "The heart of that band comes from the singular synergy in the sisterhood of Ann and Nancy Wilson."
As for Bad Company, the band and Heart actually have a mutual band member, with guitarist Howard Leese playing for Heart from 1975 to 1998, and joining Bad Company in 2008. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 as a member of Heart.
