Shawn Drover has commented on the passing of Loudness drummer Munetaka Higuchi, who died Sunday morning (November 30) after a seven-month battle with liver cancer. Shawn: "I just found out that 1 of my favorite drummers passed away - Munetaka Higuchi from the band Loudness. Munetaka Had been diagnosed with Liver Cancer less than 1 year ago, and lost his battle yesterday, which makes me very sad. I have been a loudness fan since 1983 and have continue'd to follow them throughout the years"
