X JAPAN to Postpone Tour
Wednesday, June 18, 2008

In a brief press conference held today, the first ever without YOSHIKI, X JAPAN announced that they are postponing their world tour of three shows which were planned for Paris, Taipei and New York. The members stressed that this is a postponement, not a cancellation, and that they intend to perform in those cities and possibly more at a later date.

TOSHI stated that YOSHIKI is currently undergoing treatment in his home in Los Angeles, and that he and the other members look forward to YOSHIKI's recovery and their renewed activities. In addition, he said that fortunately YOSHIKI's condition will not affect his everyday life, but that he will have to be careful not to put too much stress on his neck.

After the press conference photo session, TOSHI concluded by saying that, pending the approval of his doctors YOSHIKI may possibly make an appearance at the JAPAN EXPO in Paris July 3rd-6th, with the other members possibly appearing there as well.

X JAPAN has issued official apologies to their fans in Japanese, English, French, Korean and Chinese.
