Sad news for Beastie Boy fans today. Adam “MCA” Yauch released a video statement today that he has been diagnosed with Cancer. He is going to undergo surgery so the band has canceled its summer tour plans. Also the release of their new album, “Hot Sauce Committee Part 1,” is being delayed to allow time for his recovery.
According to his statement:
“I’m actually going to have to have surgery probably next week, coming up, and then after that have to have some radiation done,” Yauch says in the video. “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.”
“It’s a little bit of a setback, it’s a pain in the ass, but this is something that’s very treatable,” he adds.
Check out the video below.
We wish him a speedy recovery, much love from your fans Adam!
