Beastie Boy Yauch Has Cancer

2009-07-20 by RevengeSoldier | 25 Comments
The Beastie Boys have cancelled all upcoming shows and postponed the release of their new album Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1, as band member Adam Yauch (aka MCA) aims to recover from a mild bout of cancer.

Yauch announced in a video blog posted to Youtube that he is to undergo treatment on a small tumour attached to his salivary gland. He explained that he noticed some swelling in his throat glands two months ago, but was only diagnosed two weeks ago after bringing the issue up with his doctor. Luckily, Yauch is confident that the treatment will affect neither his long-term health nor, more importantly, his vocal ability.

At least it's been caught and is treatable, which is a positive.

Hoping he gets well soon, Beastie Boys were one of my introductions to rap/hip-hop.

Just got off work and I see this shit... total buzzkill. Hopefully he gets better though.

Title of this article should be "Beastie Boy Adam Yauch is literally the illest rapper."
