Beastie Boys Cancel All Summer Dates

[Chicagoist]

According to the band's publicist, "Adam "MCA" Yauch of Beastie Boys was diagnosed last week as having a cancerous tumor in his left parotid (salivary) gland." The outlook is very positive but he requires surgery which will sideline him for the summer touring season. The band is also pushing back the release of their new record due out this fall. We are awaiting confirmation but that would seem to also take them out of the line-up for this year's Lollapalooza. We have confirmed they have cancelled their Lollapalooza appearance as well. Obviously we wish Yauch a speedy recovery.
