Satoyasu Shomura announces hiatus from [ALEXANDROS]

/

Drummer of popular band [ALEXANDROS] Satoyasu Shomura announced that he will be taking a hiatus from the band, effective immediately. This news comes as a shocker to fans as Shomura is already taking a break to heal from back pain since April. However, as announced on the band’s official site, after a more detailed analysis it was announced that Shomura has been diagnosed with a form of dystonia and will unfortunately be taking time off to find treatment for the condition. For those who might not be in the know, dystonia is a disorder where the affected muscles contract uncontrollably and can cause body parts to twist involuntarily. While Shomura is getting treatment, Riad Take of the band BIGMAMA will be used as a support member in Shomura’s stead. 

We at Ongaku to You would like to send our thoughts and prayers to Shomura and wish for a speedy recovery.
