Ugh, I’ve written about the loss of some of my favorite entertainers. Today, I got word, not of a loss….but of an illness to one that is at the top for me. Adam Yauch (MCA) of Beastie Boys, has been diagnosed with cancer (according to an article on Comcast.net) [SOURCE].

Beastie Boy Adam Yauch has been diagnosed with a parotid gland tumor. The Beastie Boys have consequently canceled their upcoming tour and pushed back the release of their forthcoming album, ‘Hot Sauce Committee, Part 1,’ according to their publicist. Fortunately, Yauch’s tumor was discovered at a very early stage and this type of cancer is considered very treatable, and it’s not expected to affect his voice.

Here’s the video announcement:


Adam, your fans care about you greatly and hope for a quick recovery. If our readers are Beastie Boys fans, leave your thoughts below and share.
