Daisuke-han, a vocalist for the band Maximum the Hormone, will be taking a temporary break from live performances. According to the band's official site, Daisuke-han recently discovered a cyst on his vocal cords. He will start receiving treatment later this year, and his recovery is expected to take a few months.

The cyst was found a few days ago when the singer visited a hospital to have his throat examined. At the moment, the cyst is not causing any problems with his voice, but Daisuke-han was told that he could possibly lose his voice if the cyst is ignored. After discussing the situation with the band and their staff, it was decided that he will undergo surgery in December, followed by about three months of further treatment and rehabilitation.

Daisuke-han will be unable to perform with the band during his recovery, but he will still participate in all of the shows that have already been scheduled before then.
