Beastie Boys’ Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch has Cancer
In video message released on his website, he says its “very treatable”
Adam Yauch (yawk) AKA “MCA” of the legendary Beastie Boys, announced via their website Monday that he has a “very treatable” cancerous tumor in his salivary gland and a nearby lymph node.
“About two months ago I started feeling a little lump in my throat,” Yauch said while seated in a studio next to fellow Beastie Boy Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz.“I started thinking I should talk to my doctor … and he sent me to a specialist, and they did tests, and I actually have a form of cancer.”
MCA who is currently 43, said he will likely undergo surgery next week, followed up by some form of radiation. As a result, the band has canceled its tour dates and postponed the release of their upcoming album, “Hot Sauce Committee Part 1.”
“The good news is that they did scans of my whole body and it’s only localized this one place, and it’s not in a place that affects my voice, so that’s nice,” he said with a laugh. “This is something that’s very treatable in most cases, they’re able to completely get rid of it and people don’t have continuing problems with it and it’s not anywhere else in my body.”
On behalf of the Highbrid staff and the entire Highbrid Nation, we would like to send our best wishes to MCA as he goes into treatment and pray for a speedy recovery.
Everyone gets cancer eventually. Our environment is so toxic its almost unavoidable.
Get well soon MCA
