Bad news Scenestar readers. One of our favorite hip hop vocalists, Adam Yauch, AKA MCA, of the Beastie Boys has been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor and is currently being treated. Bad news for Beastie Boys fans is that because of this, the Beastie Boys have cancel all remaining tour dates and pushed back the release of their new album. The good news is that the tumor was caught early and Adam Yauch is on the road to recovery. Above is a video from the Beastie Boys explaining the situation and a press release below. Hopefully Adam Yauch recovers and hopefully see them at a rescheduled Santa Barbara Bowl and Hollywood Bowl shows.


Adam "MCA" Yauch of Beastie Boys was diagnosed last week as having a cancerous tumor in his left parotid (salivary) gland. Luckily it was caught early and is localized in one area, and as such is considered very treatable. It will however require surgery and several weeks of additional treatment. Fortunately the cancer is not in a location that will affect Yauch's vocal chords.

Beastie Boys have canceled all upcoming concert appearances to allow time for Yauch's surgery and recovery. The release of the band's forthcoming album Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 will also be pushed back.

Paraphrasing from a video statement on Beastieboys.com, Yauch said, "I just need to take a little time to get this in check, and then we'll release the record and play some shows. 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."
