The official website of the rock band Luna Sea announced on Monday that the band's drummer Shinya Yamada died on February 17 at 6:16 p.m. He was 56.
Yamada, who performed under the mononym Shinya, had been diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer in 2020, and then a brain tumor last year. He had undergone seven surgeries as well as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as he had planned to perform the drums at the band's "Lunatic X'Mas 2025 -Our Journey Continues-" concert on March 12 (after a delay from December 23). However, his health took a turn for the worse, and he suddenly died.
Per their wishes, his family members held a private funeral service. The band plans to hold a memorial service for fans, and will provide details as soon as they are decided.
