As you know, a Pieris needs an acid soil. If its not in a pot, and your soil isnt particularly acidic, feed it with an ericaceous liquid feed (as for azaleas, camellias etc). It may well be that it got too dry at some time, either this or last year, but it does sound as if it got hit by some frost - there were some unexpected ones where we are in mid-May. So, TLC!
