Beastie Boys Tour Postponed

Adam announced Monday that he would be receiving treatment for cancer and that as a result the group would cancel some future shows and push back the release of a new album. "I began to feel a small lump in my throat about two months ago and that doctors had recently found cancer in his parotid gland and in a lymph node.This is something that’s very treatable and in most cases they’re able to completely get rid of it,” he said.
