X Japan Postpone Shows Over Concerns of Guitarist PATA's Health

It was announced recently that X Japan would pause activities due to the health of PATA, their guitarist. PATA was admitted to ICU January 15th and diagnosed with a life-threatening condition that included a severe blood clot. Though PATA has been released from ICU and his condition has improved, doctors have expressed their thoughts against flying until he has made a full recovery. Due to the doctors requests and discussion among X Japan, it has been decided to suspend their current show commitments. Along with the postponement of their performances, they have also postponed the release of their album which was due to hit shelves on March 16th of this year. Their show for SSE Arena Wembley has been rescheduled from the original date (March 12th 2016) to March 4th 2017. All tickets that have been purchase will be honored for admission to the new 2017 date.

Let's wish PATA a smooth recovery!
