Beasties cancel shows due to MCA’s cancer

The Beastie Boys canceled shows in Chicago and elsewhere due to Adam Yauch’s planned surgery for cancer. Fortunately, the cancer is believed to be treatable, Yauch says in a YouTube video posted on the Beasties’ Web site. The surgery will push back the release of an upcoming album and cancel a Lollapalooza appearance as well as an after show at the Congress Theater.
