YOSHIKI said, “Last year in May I lost my mother. At that time, I couldn’t do anything. I had to cancel my live TV shows, and I actually went to see a doctor, The tears kept coming for days. Then I started composing this song called ‘Requiem’. I thought I should move forward, I shouldn’t give up. To move forward and to really thank my fans who supported me, I decided to do this tour.”

In addition to his groundbreaking world tour, YOSHIKI will release his latest single, “Requiem”, on July 21. X Japan’s first single in eight years, “Angel”, will be released on July 28.

YOSHIKI was invited by the GRAMMY Museum to make the announcements at a performance and conversation event hosted by the museum’s Chief Curator and VP of Curatorial Affairs Jasen Emmons.

YOSHIKI has gained international recognition for his work in music, television, and film. The Disney+ documentary film Yoshiki: My Music Story is currently airing; and Yoshiki Live at Carnegie Hall is available to PBS viewers nationwide.
