Beastie Boys Adam Yauch (MCA) has Treatable Cancer, Cancelling Summer Dates

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 21:05:28 GMT

The Beastie Boys have been forced to cancel all their upcoming concerts and push back the release of their new album Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1 after Adam Yauch revealed in a YouTube video to fans that he will undergo surgery and radiation treatment for cancer in the Parotid gland in his neck. Thankfully, Yauch (a.k.a. MCA) says the tumor in his salivary gland is localized in one area and will not affect his voice — but more importantly, it’s very treatable.

Appearing alongside Adam Horowitz (but not Mike D), Yauch tells the camera that he began to notice he had swollen glands in his throat about two months ago, but it wasn’t until two weeks ago that he spoke to his doctor, who recommended Yauch take some tests. The results revealed that a tumor had formed in the Parotid gland, the largest of the salivary glands. “I just need to take a little time to get this in check, and then we’ll release the record and play some shows,” Yauch said in a statement following the YouTube announcement; the album was originally scheduled for a September 15th release. “It’s a pain in the neck (sorry had to say it) because I was really looking forward to playing these shows, but the doctors have made it clear that this is not the kind of thing that can be put aside to deal with later.” According to the statement, the surgery will be followed by weeks of additional treatment.

No new release date for Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1, originally set for September 15th, has been announced yet, Among the shows the Beasties are canceling are headlining slots at Lollapalooza, All Points West and the Austin City Limits festival. EMI released a statement that reads, “Our thoughts, love and prayers are with Adam Yauch, his family and the Beastie Boys. The most important thing is to allow Adam to focus on staying healthy. We wish him all the best and a speedy recovery.”

We're doing super cleaning at my house, which consist of purging our selves of some of the items in storage that we have. So anyway I found a big box of tapes and cds I had put away a LOOONG time ago..found Soul On Ice. I really have to credit emcees like Ras Kass for helping to expand my consciousness of certain things. When I was a freshman in high school, I heard Nature of the Threat for the first time, and my jaw dropped. I just couldn't beleive someone could break things down like that in a song. Here's one of my favorites:

Wha'up, any Eminem fans here? I can't seem to find a community about MM himself, so I might as well join this one.
Just so you don't say I come empty handed here's an article I haven't seen before about him.
