After a lengthy delay, the Boys are back in town with their highly-anticipated Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, set to drop May 3rd. It’s good to see Adam Yauch doing much better after the cancer scare.

This is actually somewhat heart-wrenching…
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, 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.”
Let’s all hope he makes a speedy recovery.
Based off these Twitter messages from last night, I’m in serious need of some junk food. Headed to In-N-Out right now (sorry East Coasters) and I’ve got time for one post. And that will consist of a collab from the Beastie Boys and Nas. Off their upcoming album, Hot Sauce Committee pt.1, dropping September 15. You like that? And if that’s not enough, the clip above is a live performance. Shouts to WIL.

Gnozhir joins the Beastie Boys on stage at Bonaroo. SHAKE UPDATE: I switched out the clip Meka posted with some clearer footage (thanks to the c-boyz!).
On Jimmy Fallon’s show performing their latest classic single. Their upcoming album, Hot Sauce Committee, drops soon. Hey, when you’ve been doing the damn thing as long as they have, you can title your album whatever you want.
