I hope that comes to pass. Here's the statement from Hiromi's FB page. Oddly, Simon Phillips has also been laid low. 2016 is proving to be a hard year.

RE: Asia Tour 2016
To our fans
We regret to inform the public that an unforeseen and sudden medical emergency has developed affecting both Anthony Jackson and Simon Phillips. Both musicians' diagnosis makes them unable to travel and perform the scheduled shows this summer in Asia.
Unfortunately, we have to postpone/cancel our Asia concerts. Regarding festivals, we will not be able to continue in the current format but will present Hiromi in a unique way.
We sincerely apologize to all our fans and to all those affected by this situation.
While currently under medical treatment, our thoughts are with Mr. Jackson and Mr. Phillips and wish them a speedy recovery.

RE: Asia Tour 2016
To my fans,
I understand that there will be a lot of people who are disappointed by this news.
I am truly sorry for all the fans who have been looking forward to seeing us perform.
I am shocked as well that urgent medical matters occurred to both of them simultaneously, I really wish for their recovery.
I can only do my best under the unfortunate circumstances and I have to keep going believing that the chosen option is the best one.
For now, I will focus on my next performance and I promise, at the very least, that I will give everything I have to make it a great concert.
I hope you understand.
Hiromi
