Toshi said, "The 3 performances - 5th July in Paris, 2nd August in Taipei and 13th September in New York- will be postponed. We would like to perfect our preparation in order to launch a really good comeback. " When asked about Yoshiki's condition, Toshi said "We've talked on the phone but I could tell he was really disappointed. Currently, his body is quite badly damaged. I think he has accumulated too much fatigue and weariness."
According to their staff, Yoshiki is currently recuperating at a centre in Los Angeles. Although it is said that he cannot board an aeroplane, he has little difficulty moving about in everyday life. Yoshiki is also recuperating from a knee injury that happened last month during hide's memorial concert.
