Пишет Boku no Gisho:
Yoshiki to go emergency surgery on May 16th, 2017
Everyone had been fearing that message for years – Yoshiki‘s neck is in such a bad condition that he now has to undergo an emergency cervical artificial disc replacement surgery on Tuesday, May 16 in Los Angeles. In 2009 he already underwent a cervical laminectomy and a cervical foraminotomy.
Unfortunately, the cancellation of all scheduled activity in May could not be avoided. In addition, July’s X Japan World Tour 2017, We Are X concert dates in Japan, the Yoshiki Premium Dinner Show dates in August and September, as well as yet-to-be-announced dates for the summer world tour that was to start in Los Angeles, are now undergoing rescheduling with his U.S. agency William Morris Endeavor.
Full press release from Yoshiki’s management below:
X JAPAN
EMERGENCY SURGERY FOR YOSHIKI OF X JAPAN TO TAKE PLACE IN LOS ANGELES MAY 16, 2017
It has been determined by multiple doctors that YOSHIKI of X JAPAN will undergo an emergency cervical artificial disc replacement surgery on Tuesday, May 16 in Los Angeles.
As a result of YOSHIKI’s intense drumming style and its impact on his physical health, he was diagnosed with cervical foraminal stenosis in July 2009, and then underwent a cervical laminectomy and a cervical foraminotomy.
After suffering from a herniated disc that has worsened over the past six months, YOSHIKI has experienced symptoms including numbness and severe paralysis of the left hand and arm, which have since affected his musical performances. Upon receiving a complete examination by his doctors in both Japan and the U.S., YOSHIKI was diagnosed with cervical foraminal stenosis (radiculopathy of the left arm and herniation of intervertebral disc C5-C6). After thorough consultation, YOSHIKI has no choice but to undergo surgery at this time.
YOSHIKI has been informed by a neurosurgeon in Japan that his neck has experienced severe damage that would force a professional rugby player to retire. It has been medically determined that he is approaching his limit, both physically and mentally. The intense schedule has taken its toll on his already damaged nervous system. With performances at Visual Japan Summit Festival, Yoshiki Classical Special in Japan, Hong Kong, Carnegie Hall in New York and Wembley Arena in London, he has continued to play around the world with X JAPAN and solo. In addition to adopting an intensive travel schedule to over 20 film festivals globally to promote the documentary WE ARE X, contributed to his health condition.
“I had the pleasure of seeing Yoshiki, who has a C5-6 disc herniation with left arm radiculopathy. He has been recommended to have a cervical artificial disc replacement,” explains Neel Anand, M.D., YOSHIKI’s Orthopedic Spine surgeon in the U.S.
Dr. Tommy Tomizawa, M.D., adds “It was decided upon consultation that he will undergo emergency surgery as the condition of his neck at present will interfere not only with his career as an artist, but also with everyday life. From viewing the results of the MRI and CT scans, the damage is so severe that it is apparent that he has experienced considerable pain while performing. As this would be his second such procedure, we eliminated the option of a cervical foraminotomy, an operation in which a portion of bone is removed. Yoshiki’s symptoms reappeared at the Visual Japan Summit festival, which was held last October in Japan. By the time he performed in January of this year at New York’s Carnegie Hall, he had already lost the sensation in his left hand. The symptoms worsened this March following the U.K. Wembley performance, but he continued recording. Even in his condition at that state, Yoshiki stated that he wanted to see things through to the end. However, due to the worsening of his symptoms, doctors, determined that if the situation continued he would have gone beyond the point of surgery and recovery.”
The operation is to be performed on May 16th at a Los Angeles hospital. Unfortunately, the cancellation of all scheduled activity in May could not be avoided. In addition, July’s X Japan World Tour 2017, We Are X concert dates in Japan, the Yoshiki Premium Dinner Show dates in August and September, as well as yet-to-be-announced dates for the summer world tour that was to start in Los Angeles, are now undergoing rescheduling with his U.S. agency William Morris Endeavor.
Following YOSHIKI’s operation, a discussion whether to cancel, postpone or move forward as scheduled will be held amongst the agent, promoter and management.
We deeply apologize for the inconvenience this will cause to fans and everyone involved.

YOSHIKI、緊急手術で公演見合わせ 「心身共に限界」
【AFP＝時事】（更新）ロックバンド「X JAPAN」のリーダーで、ステージ上で倒れるほどの猛烈なドラムパフォーマンスで知られるYOSHIKIが9日、緊急手術を受けるため、予定されていた各公演を見合わせると発表した。

事務所の声明によると、YOSHIKIは米ロサンゼルス（Los Angeles）で今月16日、頸椎（けいつい）の人工椎間板置換術を受ける。「YOSHIKIは日本の神経外科医から、プロのラグビー選手なら引退を余儀なくされるほどの深刻な損傷を首に負っていると宣告された。心身共に限界に近づいているとの診断を受けた」という。
7月に日本各地のアリーナで予定されているX JAPANのコンサートに加え、未発表だったその後の世界ツアーの開催も見合わせるとしている。日を改めて開催するか、あるいは完全中止するかは、後日決められるという。
X JAPANは日本の音楽史上最大のアーティストの一つに数えられ、1980～90年代に絶大な人気を集めた。
クラシックピアニストでもあるYOSHIKIは今年1月、ニューヨーク（New York）のカーネギーホール（Carnegie Hall）で東京フィルハーモニー交響楽団（Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra）とのコンサートも行ったが、主治医のトミー・トミザワ（Tommy Tomizawa）氏は9日の声明で、YOSHIKIは既に左手の感覚を失っていると説明している。
YOSHIKIは以降もパフォーマンスを続け、3月には英ロンドン（London）のウェンブリー・アリーナ（Wembley Arena）でX JAPANのライブも敢行した。
トミザワ氏は「YOSHIKIはあれほどの容体でも、最後まで見届けたいと語っていた。だが症状は悪化の一途をたどっており、医師団は現状のまま行けば、手術を受け回復できる限界点を超えてしまうと判断した」と述べている。【翻訳編集】 AFPBB News

14.05.2017 в 22:21Он вроде обещался не тянуть, там надо время выждать, Юки его прошёл такую же операцию, так что у него есть, с кем посоветоваться.
А вообще, зная его...
