Helloween have unfortunately been forced to cancel their Japanese tour due to the sudden illness of drummer Daniel Löble. The German power metallers were set to play five shows in Japan this month but in the morning hours of June 14th, their drummer was hospitalized with an appendix breakthrough. He underwent an emergency surgery and his doctors have strongly advised him to "rest for several weeks." However, they are working on rescheduling the dates.

They explained: "Due to Dani's sudden illness, the band has no choice but to postpone the scheduled Japanese tour starting this Sunday in Hiroshima. The promoter Creative Man Production Co., Ltd. is currently working on rescheduling the dates. Please keep your tickets and kindly wait for further instructions & updates via Helloween's and Creative Man's homepage and Facebook page - thank you! Helloween deeply apologizes any inconvenience this may cause and greatly appreciates the understanding of their faithful Japanese fans!"
