Beastie Boys cancel some shows - Yauch has 'a form of cancer' http://beastieboys.com/
See the link above. Just got an email from them saying Houston we have a problem. So some dates are cancelled and, of course, album pushed back while he gets his treatment. 
Thoughts go out to him. |

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was recently commenting on their appearance, saying to them that they had gone from Check Your Head to check your prostate.
Prophetic words! That's scary stuff to get older. I hope he's okay. My Legacy

He says in the vid it's treatable and shouldn't affect his voice too much. But still, very scary when it's near lymph nodes. |

I'm not a fan per se, but I take my hat off to him for being so detailed about it in his message, unlike some press releases when an artist is sick that make all kinds of dumb stories up.
That's a calm and honest and very human video message. Much respect to him for that. Hope he gets better as expected. This is not an exit | |

Watching him speak it's hard to believe he was ever the beer-swiggling, leather jacket-wearing tough guy of the group. Of course that was over 20 years ago. | |

hey all, hope you are doing well. so i'm about a week and a half out of surgery now and rapidly recovering from it. i haven't taken any of the pain meds, which supposedly speeds along the healing process, or should i say, taking them slows it down. anyway, i spent 1 night at the hospital after the surgery. the hospital was too crazy to get any rest so i headed home to relax, have home cooked food and hang out with the family. i'm pretty well detoxed from the anesthesia that they pumped me up with to keep me under for all that time. that took several days to get out of my system. my neck and jaw are still pretty stiff from the surgery, but it gets better everyday. had the stitches out this past monday... so things are moving along. but no sooner am i on the mend from this first torture than are they lining up the next one. the next line of treatment will be radiation. that involves blasting you with some kind of beam for a few minutes a day, 5 days a week, for about 7 weeks. that will start in a few weeks... saw the jay-z cover of no sleep, and the coldplay one of fight for your right from APW on youtube. good shit. and i heard karen o wore a "get well MCA" armband, and that q-tip gave a shout out too..... very kind of them. just wanted to thank them and everyone else who sent positive thoughts my way. i do think that all of the well wishes have contributed to the fact that my treatment and recovery are going well. much love back at all of you! adam Sounds like he's coping as well as can be expected. Good that he's able to go home and be with family. [Edited 8/5/09 7:35am] |
