R.I.P Adam Yauch. aka MCA From Beastie Boys

[Hobberz]

Adam Yauch, of the hip-hop trio the Beastie Boys, has died. He was 47.

In 2009, Yauch, who was known as MCA in the pioneering group, was diagnosed with a tumor in his salivary gland and underwent surgery and radiation treatments.

Here are a couple of hits that made the Beastie Boys who they are today.

Rest in Peace, Respect and Love to the family of Adam Yauch! You will be missed MCA...

That is horrible news wazza. And the fact one of his favorite mc's lost the battle would be a big blow, but remember there are also plenty and plenty of people that have overcome it. Need to stay in high hopes and focus on the positives. i wish you your son and your family the very best!

And if you need anything, let the forum know, we will help in any way we can <3

Mate, so sorry to hear that. As JonnyB said he needs to try and focus on all those who have overcome it. Hope everything turns out well for your son.

Rest In PEace Adam Yauch aka MCA

' Last night I took a 14 hour flight to Sydney Australia from LA embarking on PEs 80th tour in 25 years. I landed I got 65 texts with the news. Adam and theBoys put us on our first tour 25 years and 79 tours ago. They were essential to our beginning, middle and today. Adam especially was unbelievable in our support from then till now even allowing me to speech induct them into the Rock hall of fame. I consider my self a strong man and my father says be prepared to lose many on your post 50 path of life. Still Im a bit teary eyed leaving this plane R.I.P Adam Aka MCA'

LOL @ THAT WALTER BURNING TO DEATH PART

[Hobberz]

So sorry hear Wazza, I hope everything works out for you and your family.

Added a few Beastie Boys tracks to my set last night and last saturday night as a bit of a tribute. Sad that half the people on the dance floor probably had no idea who MCA was or that he had passed.
