The Beastie Boys revealed today that member Adam Yauch was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his parotid gland. The trio will postpone all tour dates and the release of its upcoming album, ‘Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1,’ as Yauch undergoes treatment.
Sitting alongside member Adam Horowitz, Yauch made the announcement in a video clip on the group’s official website. Yauch said that for the past two months, he’d been feeling a lump in his throat like he had a cold and consulted doctors two weeks ago. After undergoing tests, they found the tumor in his parotid gland, a salivary gland, as well as its lymph node, and he’ll be undergoing surgery next week. Fortunately, Yauch says they caught the cancer early, it hasn’t spread and should be easily treatable. He also notes that the surgery and treatment won’t affect his vocal cords.
Yauch goes on to apologize to all their fans and saysn “we’ll be back doing doing this soon.” In typical Beastie fashion, the two of them then go on to make a joke out of the situation, noting that Horowitz was home watching TV when he was called to the studio for the news. He even says to Yauch, “Thank you for the opportunity” to have the time to work on his solo stuff, saying it’s inspired by Kenny Rogers. The band was scheduled to perform at All Points West on Friday, July 31, and the album was set to be released September 15. Check out the entire video statement below.
On Tuesday, July 21st, MySpace Music and Casablanca/Universal Republic Records will unveil the first single and title track from British singing sensation MIKA’s new album, WE ARE GOLDEN. The lavish new single will be streamed exclusively for 24 hours only, beginning 9:00 AM EST and will be featured on the MySpace homepage as well as Mika’s MySpace profile.
The acclaimed Mika - who has drawn comparisons to Hall of Fame caliber showman such as Freddie Mercury and Elton John – enjoys a global following thanks to his colorful musical repertoire, cathartic stage-presence, and multi-platform connectivity of his dazzling 2007 debut album, Life In Cartoon Motion. The riveting debut album spawned several worldwide pop anthems, including “Grace Kelly,” “Love Today,” and “Relax”; sold over 5 million copies worldwide; as well as garnering unprecedented critical praise and a host of Awards and nominations including Grammys, Brit Awards, World Music Awards, and the UK’s most prestigious songwriting honor, the Ivor Novello Award.
After a string of sold-out tours across the globe, Mika began to set his sights on delivering a new album for fans. Produced by Mika and Greg Wells (Katy Perry, P!nk), We Are Golden features guest contributions by Imogen Heap and Final Fantasy’s Owen Pallett, among others. It retains a breadth of vision that speaks not only to Mika’s extraordinary melodic sensibilities, but also to the incredible stories he tells within his songs. A video for the soaring new single is currently in pre-production, and will be helmed by acclaimed Swedish director Jonas Akerlund. Look for Mika’s We Are Golden CD in-stores September 22.
