You have got to be kidding me... Urgh!

If it's confirmed, then Rest In Peace Heath. F*** Cancer!

Edit: Yeah, it's confirmed now. Rest In Peace. Too young. This has been awful for the Japanese Rock scene. Atsushi, vocalist of Buck-Tick, and now Heath, bassist for X Japan.

The heck is up with the term “ misfortune event”???
Didn’t see this term anywhere on his Twitter.

Is this a translation of 身内の不幸?

If that’s what YOSHIKI wrote somewhere, sorry!

If you go to X Japan's website and check "band members", Heath's page/site is a 404 error. The other member pages work fine.

I would like to see an official announcement, but I can't deny this fact.

RIP Heath.

The link goes to the Producer.

Edit (11/11): So it is now confirmed. Unfortunately, this new article makes it the 3rd pass away article after the other 2 from the day before.

I was privileged to see him perform, if only briefly, with Pata and Yoshiki at Otakon some years ago.
