Doctors have diagnosed him with vocal cord polyps and Laryngitis. The decision to cancel the tour was final, according to the doctors advice.
The physician said that Kyo’s vocal state, “Has deteriorated considerably with throat polyps and early surgery is required,” and, “including the surgery, we must follow up with more tests. It is uncertain when the bands activity will resume.”
Kyo has faced vocal problems before, with edema of the larynx and inflammation of the vocal cords (folds) in 2009, three years ago, which required emergency hospitalization. This delayed their 2009 ‘Feast of V senses’ tour based in Sapporo and Sendai. Kyo had been dealing with exhaustion and they had been overbooked, alongside Kyo’s voice being weakened. It was advised that Kyo rest his voice."
