SuG has gone on temporary hiatus to allow its vocalist Takeru to receive treatment for and recover from tonsillitis.
Takeru has experienced asthma-like symptoms since last year, but has tried to continue his musical activities. After getting a high fever of nearly 40°C (104°F), he was diagnosed with chronic tonsillitis.
Takeru will have to undergo surgery to have his tonsils removed. His treatment and recovery period is expected to last about a month.
"To all of the fans, to all concerned parties, we apologize for putting you through a great deal of trouble," the band said when it announced its hiatus.
SuG's temporary hiatus comes as the band was preparing for the release of its 5th studio album "BLACK" on March 4. The album's release and its promotional activities are scheduled to go ahead as planned, though Takeru may not be attendance depending on his condition.
