Adam "MCA" Yauch announces that he has cancer in part of his throat, explains that it hasn't reached anywhere else in his body and that propects are good for recovery, and that their upcoming tour will be understandably delayed. Best wishes to the raspy voiced MCA as he prepares for treatment. The Beastie Boys are definitely legends in the Hip Hop genre, as one of the first acts on Def Jam to blow up with their classic debut album "License to Ill."
"I apologize to everybody, for anyone who's made plans or was psyched to come to these shows that are coming up," says Yauch. "We'll be back doing this soon."
"Hot Sauce Committee Part 1," the group's eighth album, was originally scheduled for release on Sept. 15. The set will include 17 tracks, including "Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win" featuring Santigold and "Too Many Rappers" featuring Nas.
EMI, the group's label home for all but its debut release, issued a statement this afternoon: "Our thoughts, love and prayers are with Adam Yauch, his family and the Beastie Boys. The most important thing is to allow Adam to focus on staying healthy. We wish him all the best and a speedy recovery."
