Rock band the HIATUS has announced that they will be holding a hall tour starting in November in addition to announcing that member Horie Hirohisa (Key) will be withdrawing from the band after this tour.

The hall tour will kick off on November 12th at Sapporo Shimin Hall, and will wrap up on December 6th at NHK Hall for a total of 10 shows. Ticket details will be announced at a later date.

The reason why Horie will be leaving the band is because he wanted to find a time to produce his own solo album. On the band's official website, he wrote, "The friends I've made music with, they'll always be my friends, that'll never change. And the best times I've had with everyone, I don't intend to make them my memories."

Additionally, the HIATUS will be releasing a new DVD and Blu-ray. The title, release date, and other details have not been revealed at this time, so stay tuned!
