X JAPAN are currently on their North American Tour, however, it has been reported that band leader YOSHIKI has broken down at the hotel the group was staying. Even as right now worries about his condition are not necessary, his state has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. As YOSHIKI did not want to worry anyone, YOSHIKI had kept this information from the staff as well.
While the illness can sometimes also lead to thyroid cancer, there is currently no diagnosis on the case, yet further examination and treatment are still necessary.
Yet, the tour will be continued as planned, looking towards the final show in New York on October 10th.
