EXILE member suffers from Achilles heel

Former J Soul Brothers member and current EXILE member KEIJI will no longer be participating in EXILE’s current tour, due to rupturing his left Achilles tendon.

During a performance on the 24th in Hiroshima, KEIJI felt a pain in his left foot and left the stage in the middle of the concert. After being taken to a hospital and getting examined, he was diagnosed with a ruptured Achilles tendon that will require several months of treatment.

On May 9th, EXILE started their nationwide tour, “EXILE LIVE TOUR 2009 ‘THE MONSTER’,” which covers 30 performances in 9 cities. The remaining thirteen members of EXILE plan to continue the tour without KEIJI, all the way until the final day on August 2nd.
