News: Adam Yauch Of The Beastie Boys Diagnosed With Cancer



In some unfortunate news, Adam Yauch, one third of the groundbreaking Hip-Hop group The Beastie Boys released a statement early today via video announcement that last week he was diagnosed with cancer when doctors discovered a tumor in his left salivary gland....

The tumor requires immediate surgery and due to this the Beasties will be cancelling their shows this Summer and pushing back their new LP "Hot Sauce Committee" that was due out this September.

Yauch had this to say:

"I'm actually going to have to have surgery probably next week, coming up, and then after that have to have some radiation done, but the good news is that they did scans of my whole body and it's only localized in this one area, and it's not in a place that affects my voice…this is something that's very treatable."

Purehip-hop's prayers and best wishes go out to Adam, his fam & friends....
