Adam Yauch Of Beastie Boys Has Treatable Cancer


The Beastie Boys have put the release of their new album on pause and canceled their upcoming tour so that MCA (aka Adam Yauch) can get surgery on a cancerous tumor doctors found on his left parotid gland. The tumor isn't going to eff with his voice, but Adam will have to go through treatment. Adam explains it all in the message above and he even apologizes to the fans for having to go away for a quick minute. Dude doesn't have to apologize. Get bettah, MCA.

Adam Yauch will turn 45 on Aug. 5, and as a gift to their fans, they will release of their forthcoming album. But, it was announced on July 20th that the upcoming album and tour from legendary rock/rap group the Beastie Boys will have to be postponed, so that member Adam Yauch can begin treatment for cancer. Adam Yauch was diagnosed with cancer of the parotid gland, one of the saliva glands. It isn't terribly serious, but it does require treatment. Yauch, also known as MCA in the group, is the bands' bass player and was one of the earliest members before they switched to hip hop from punk. Let's hope Adam Yauch has a swift and successful recovery.

Is it wrong for a man to have a sugar baby or a woman to have sugar daddy??
It is an absolutely extramarital relationship, but more and more services came out on Internet focusing on this kind of relationship.
such as ^-^ www.sugarscupid.com ^-^
it’s the biggest sugar dating site for beautiful woman and rich man

Sending good juju to MCA!

These guys were great in the 80's then they became political and boring. Only people trying to sound cool like 'Paul's Boutique' and their other lame shit.

I'm wishing him a speedy recovery. I met him, when I was in college, at a 'Students for a Free Tibet' rally, in NYC. He was the nicest guy.

Get well soon, MCA!

missy's picture

aww, man!

love the beasties!!!

GET BETTER MCA!!!!

Now here's a little story I've got to tell
About three bad brothers you know so well
It started way back in history
With Adrock, M.C.A., and me - Mike D.
Been had a little horsy named Paul Revere
Just me and my horsy and a quart of beer
Riding across the land, kicking up sand
Sheriff's posse on my tail cause I'm in demand
One lonely Beastie I be
All by myself without nobody
The sun is beating down on my baseball hat
The air is gettin' hot the beer is getting flat
Lookin' for a girl I ran into a guy
His name is M.C.A., I said, "Howdy" he said, "Hi"

He told a little story that sounded well rehearsed
Four days on the run and that he's dying of thirst
The brew was in my hand and he was on my tip
His voice was hoarse, his throat was dry he asked me for a sip
He said, "Can I get some?"
I said, "You can't get none!"
Had a chance to run
He pulled out his shotgun
He was quick on the draw I thought I'd be dead
He put the gun to my head and this is what he said,

"Now my name is M.C.A. I've got a license to kill
I think you know what time it is it's time to get ill
Now what do we have here an outlaw and his beer
I run this land, you understand I make myself clear."
We stepped into the wind he had a gun, I had a grin
You think this story's over but it's ready to begin

"Now I got the gun you got the brew
You got two choices of what you can do
It's not a tough decision as you can see
I can blow you away or you can ride with me" I said, I'll ride with you if you can get me to the border
The sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter
I did it like this, I did it like that
I did it with a whiffleball bat
So I'm on the run the cop's got my gun
And right about now it's time to have some fun
The King Adrock that is my name
And I know the fly spot where they got the champagne."
We rode for six hours then we hit the spot
The beat was a bumping and the girlies was hot
This dude was staring like he knows who we are
We took the empty spot next to him at the bar
M.C.A. said, "Yo, you know this kid?"
I said, "I didn't." but I know he did
The kid said, "Get ready cause this ain't funny
My name's Mike D. and I'm about to get money."
Pulled out the jammy aimed it at the sky
He yelled, "Stick 'em up!" and let two fly
Hands went up and people hit the floor
He wasted two kids that ran for the door
"I'm Mike D. and I get respect
Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect"
M.C.A. was with it and he's my ace
So I grabbed the piano player and I punched him in the face
The piano player's out the music stopped
His boy had beef and he got dropped
Mike D. grabbed the money M.C.A. snatched the gold
I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold.

Well the great thing is that it is not more serious than it is. Sad though and very scary for him I am sure!

Get well, get well soon, we want you to get well.

Nooooooooo!!! You'll beat it Adam!

I'm supposed to see them on the 31st at All Points West. I wonder if they're going to play now. Shit. I really wanted to get down with the Beasties.

*Edited: I just checked and they're not playing now. Fuck. They're probably going to get Nickelback or some other retarded shit to replace them. Now I'm really sad. Fuck.
