44-year old Beastie Boys member Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch, was recently diagnosed as having a cancerous tumor in his left salivary gland. Since it was found in the early stages, doctors say that it can be treated with surgery along with a couple of weeks of additional treatment and recovery time. Fortunately for the singer, the surgery will not affect his vocal cords. The band has since cancelled all upcoming shows since they found out about the cancer and pushed back their highly anticipated album to allow for Adam to heal. Adam also took the time to release a statement saying “I just need to take a little time to get this in check, and then we’ll release the record and play some shows. It’s a pain in the neck (sorry had to say it) because I was really looking forward to playing these shows, but the doctors have made it clear that this is not the kind of thing that can be put aside to deal with later.”
