Beastie Boy Adam Yauch Has Cancer

[Dusty Ayres]

NEW YORK -- Beastie Boy Adam Yauch (yawk) has what is described as a "very treatable" cancerous tumor in his salivary gland.
An announcement came Monday from the group, which is canceling its tour dates and postponing an album release.
A statement says the tumor was found early. It's confined to one area and is considered very treatable.
He will need surgery and other treatment, but the statement says his vocal cords will not be affected.

Did you see the recent pictures of them? Gosh they don't look like the young punks I remember so long ago.

At least MCA will be AOK though....they said the cancer is small, isolated and treatable, great news for him!

Speedy recovery my friend

I heard about this today. Here's hoping for a quick recovery.

Eek! Glad to hear he is set to make a good recovery. MCA is my fave Beastie Boy.

That's a shame.
They were supposed to headline "All Points West", an all day music festival out here in NJ on Liberty Island in two weeks. Coldplay and TOOL are also headlining.

I'm waiting to hear who the replacement act will be.

Get well soon MCA. Get back upon the mike so you can rock, my man.

Sounds like he's gonna be just fine.

Good.

^And given that, all I really have to say is "Jesus christ, the Beastie Boys are in their 40s?!"

I think I'll go check myself into a nursing home now.

And Gary Numan is 51.

Used to love the BBoys back in the day. This is sad news, hope his money buys him some awesome care.

Madonna is 50.

Prince is 51.

Sting and the other members of the Police are in their 50's as well (Sting is 57.)

David Byrne is in his mid-50's, as are the rest of the Talking Heads (Byrne is also 57.)

Kinda puts our own morality into a certain perspective, doesn't it?
