BUCK-TICK's Atsushi Sakurai Passes Away at 57 Due to Brainstem Hemorrhage
An Emotional Farewell to the Iconic Vocalist During a Fan Club-Exclusive Performance
The music world is in mourning as Atsushi Sakurai, the charismatic vocalist of the iconic Japanese rock band BUCK-TICK, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 57. The devastating news was officially confirmed, marking a sudden and shocking end to the artist's three-and-a-half-decade-long career.
On the fateful night of October 19th, Sakurai was performing at the fan-club exclusive event "BUCK-TICK FISH TANKer's ONLY 2023" at KT Zepp Yokohama in Kanagawa. Unfortunately, due to his deteriorating health, the performance had to be halted. Despite being rushed to the hospital, Sakurai could not be saved and passed away at 23:09 due to a brainstem hemorrhage. The family, respecting their privacy in this trying time, conducted a private funeral. However, according to the band's management, a memorial to honor Sakurai will be organized at a later date.
BUCK-TICK, composed of Atsushi Sakurai, Hisashi Imai (Guitar), Hidehiko Hoshino (Guitar), Yutaka Higuchi (Bass), and Toll Yagami (Drums), debuted in 1987. They rose to fame in 1988 with the hit single « JUST ONE MORE KISS », propelling them to national stardom. Celebrating their 35th anniversary this year, the band had just hosted a grand anniversary concert in their hometown of Gunma in September. They were just commencing their 36th year in the music industry when this tragic incident occurred.
Sakurai's untimely demise has sent shockwaves through the fan community and the music industry at large. It's a loss that leaves a void difficult to fill. The late singer was renowned for his mesmerizing vocals and enigmatic stage presence, qualities that have touched the lives of countless fans globally. His voice will forever resonate in the hearts of those who admired him. While the band's future remains uncertain, Sakurai's rich legacy ensures that he will continue to inspire generations to come.
