Beastie Boy Yauch given all clear
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 7 January 2011
Beastie Boy Adam Yauch has been given the all clear after his battle with cancer eighteen months ago. His bandmate Mike D confirmed so to Radio 1 this week, adding that plans to release a new Beastie Boys album this year were now pretty certain to go ahead.
As previously reported, there are two new albums in the can, including the one that was delayed when Yauch was taken ill, though the way in which those records will now be released is a bit confusing (the second one is coming out before the first one though with songs from the first one on it, or something like that).
Mike D added that the band hoped to tour the new album, though wanted to make sure Yauch was fully fit again before doing so. In the meantime most effort is being put into a “really big video” for one of their new tracks.
