Diagnostican un tumor cancerígeno a Adam Yauch, componente de los Beastie Boys

Malas noticias, Adam "MCA" Yauch, miembro del grupo Beastie Boys ha comunicado recientemente que tras someterse a varias pruebas durante la pasada semana ha sido diagnosticado con un tumor cancerígeno en su glándula parótida izquierda situada en el cuello.

Afortunadamente, parece que el tumor está localizado en un solo sitio y lo han detectado a tiempo, lo que lo hace muy tratable y parece no suponer riesgo ni para su vida, ni para su voz, sin embargo requerirá de cirugía y de varias semanas de tratamiento lo que obligará al grupo a retrasar el lanzamiento de Hot Sauce Committee pt. 1 y cancelar sus próximos shows.

Esperemos que se recupere pronto. Tras el salto puedes leer la nota de prensa sobre el anuncio (en inglés).

BEASTIE BOYS TOUR DATES CANCELED, ALBUM RELEASE POSTPONED
ADAM YAUCH DIAGNOSED WITH PAROTID GLAND TUMOR

Adam "MCA" Yauch of Beastie Boys was diagnosed last week as having a cancerous tumor in his left parotid (salivary) gland. Luckily it was caught early and is localized in one area, and as such is considered very treatable. It will however require surgery and several weeks of additional treatment. Fortunately the cancer is not in a location that will affect Yauch's vocal chords.

Beastie Boys have canceled all upcoming concert appearances to allow time for Yauch's surgery and recovery. The release of the band's forthcoming album Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 will also be pushed back.

Paraphrasing from a video statement on Beastieboys.com [below], Yauch said, "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."
