Update on Beastie Boy Adam Yauch October 9, 2009

Posted by Megan Rondeau | Permalink | Comments ( 5 ) | TrackBack

In July of this year, legendary hip-hop pioneers, Beastie Boys, surprised fans with some really upsetting news. Via a video posted on their website, MCA and Ad Rock (a.k.a. Adam Yauch and Adam Horovitz) announced that the Beasties would have to cancel their upcoming scheduled performances and postpone the release of their album, Hot Sauce Committee Part 1. Adam Yauch was diagnosed with cancer after a tumor was discovered in the left parotid gland in his throat. Immediately, get-well wishes and messages of support starting pouring in for the singer, who has done so much for music, culture, and the betterment of humanity for so many years.

I'm pleased to announce that upon his return from India, Adam is feeling "healthy, strong, and hopeful" that he's beaten cancer. During his stay in India, Adam attended teachings by the Dalai Lama and was treated by Tibetan doctors who recommended he adhere to a "vegan/organic" diet.

Glad to hear you're feeling better MCA! peta2 wishes you a speedy recovery!



P.S. Changing what you eat can change your life. A vegan diet has been proven to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes.

Nice! With a vegan diet everybody wins MCA, the animals, and the planet. Glad to hear the fellow Beastie Boy won the battle against cancer.
