Sad news,

Famed hip-hop trio the Beastie Boys are mourning the loss of their brother-in-rhyme Adam "MCA" Yauch, who died May 4 as a result of his battle with cancer, according to TMZ. The Brooklyn, N.Y., native was 47.

Fours years ago on July 20, 2009, Yauch announced he had been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his parotid gland. As a result of the disease, the Beastie Boys had postponed all tour dates and pushed back the release of their eighth studio album, originally titled Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1, which was later released and titled Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2.

Frank Bullitt

Bummed out by this, my fav Beastie by miles, loved his voice, raspy goodness with them beats.

Rest assured he is chilling with Buddha tonight, and we all have the music.

Thoughts with his family and the Beasties at this tough time.

RachaelVO

Only 47!!!!

One of the most influential bands ever, without the Beastie Boys a whole lot of genres of music would probably not exist.

RIP - I hope where ever you are now, the party continues :(

Terrible loss, such a talented guy from the music through to the video direction.
License to iLL was one of the first albums I bought and bought every album after that.

RIP Adam.

Superb bassist, his rapping was actually a plus I remember me n a pal actually climbed over the RDS to try n meet em, shimmied down to the ground where the sound of skateboards was but the shutter was well, shut.

Then to get in, there was a pile of puke beside an exit n I stood over it pretending I did it whilst my pal pointed it out to security. Worked; lost a shoe in the pit that night

Banditoo

Fcuk off Ah no that's terrible. Seen the beasties in 1998 in NY when i lived there and it was an incredible show. So bloody young iswell. R.I.P.
