The Beastie Boys have canceled their upcoming tour and postponed the release date for their new album, Hot Sauce Committee Part I, due to group member Adam Yauch’s diagnosis last week of a cancerous tumor in his left parotid (salivary) gland. The tumor was caught early and is treatable but will require Yauch to have surgery and weeks of treatment.

I guess Triumph is right when he said to them at Bonaroo, they’ve gone from “Check Yo’ Head” to “Check Yo’ Prostate”.
Seriously though… Hope MCA responds to treatment. Well wishes!
That’s harsh. I’m glad it was caught early. Hope the dude pulls through!
I wish Adam Yauch a safe and speedy recovery. I’ve been in love since the first time I EVER heard those guys! I went through a similar problem earlier this year, and I was freakin. I was lucky and have had a good recovery and I wish the same for you, Bro.
