Another sudden death of a young musician: 26-year-old Ryan Siew of the band Polaris, died 'unexpectedly' last week after a 'battle with brain fog and lethargy'

In January he posted this picture from his hospital bed: the band has subsequently canceled the remaining parts of their European tour:

According to their Reddit fan page, the band played in London , UK, on the 11th June, so a few weeks ago:

8 days ago they suddenly announced the cancellation of their European tour they were in the middle of:

Then 5 hours ago they announced his death: strange timelines here

It would seem likely given this timeline that they had some hope he would recover, but it would take a while, so they canceled the tour, and thought he would pull throug: but he didn't.

People saying he died before they canceled the tour: but the death wasn't announced until days after they canceled it though, so I don't know what happened there: why they kept that under wraps?
