Kaede was set to return as drummer for the hurts revival but it seems he will have to cancel his appearance. He has been complaining about his back for awhile and now is going to have sit out due to inter-vertebral disk hernia to his lower back. Ex. ClearVeil’s drummer Naka will be taking over for the revival on March 8th. Lets wish him a speedy recovery!
