Dismissal or a break?

Yesterdays' Loopash News held a shocking message for all zip.er-fans: unlimited break.
Also the official homepage is gone.

The original message sounded as followed(copied, I'll be putting the translation beneath):
いつもZip.erを応援して下さいまして誠にありがとうございます。
この度、アーティストの都合により現在決定していますライブスケジュールの出演は、誠に勝手ではございますが、全て中止とさせて頂きます。
ご迷惑をお掛け致しまして大変申し訳ございません。
ご理解とご了承頂きます事を心よりお願い申し上げます。

※７月、８月公演のチケットの返金方法は、近日中にループアッシュのメルマガにてお知らせいたします。


Thanks for always visiting and supporting Zip.er.
Because of a sudden happening of the artist we need to inform you that all schedule lives had been canceled (they mean zip.er's part on the events)
Furthermore there will be an unlimited break.
We are very sorry about that and ask you to always stay a fan and carry them in your heart.

※Those who bought July or August tickets because of zip.er will get their money back. Please wait for an additional mail from Loopash.
