YOSHIKI

X JAPAN bandleader Yoshiki this week announced Requiem, his upcoming 10th anniversary classical world tour with a full orchestra. “My tears became the melody,” Yoshiki said. “After my mother passed away, I couldn’t do anything. I had to cancel my live TV shows. I had to cancel everything. So I said, ‘What can I do?’ I actually went to see a doctor. I couldn’t stop crying. The tears kept coming for days. Then I started composing this song called ‘Requiem’ and I said, ‘You know what? I should move forward. I shouldn’t give up at this point yet,’ so this tour that was just announced was already in talks and I said, ‘Let’s do this’ for me to move forward and to really thank my fans and everyone who has supported me.” Dates include NYC’s Carnegie Hall on October 28. All dates are here.
