Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch is "feeling fine" after cancer battle, talks album release
Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch is "feeling fine" after his recent battle with cancer. The musician was diagnosed with the disease in July and had a cancerous tumour removed from his left parotid gland removed shortly thereafter. The surgery and recovery necessitated the indefinite delay of their forthcoming album, Hot Sauce Commitee. The record would be their first non-instrumental album since To The 5 Boroughs in 2004.
Yauch revealed that he is "feeling fine" and that the band are currently working on an upcoming tour, and he gave an update on the release date for the record, saying:
We're just in the process of figuring that out now. The record was pretty much set for release this past September, but we had to postpone it, because of health issues.
[Touring again] is definitely something we're discussing and trying to figure out if that makes sense. Believe me, it would be fun if it does come together.
