Beastie Boy Adam Yauch Diagnosed with Cancer
Originally posted 07/20/2009 01:10PM
A cancerous tumor was discovered in Beastie Boys member Adam Yauch's left salivary gland, the rapper's record label, EMI, announced in a statement Monday.
While the musician is expected to make a full recovery, the band has been forced to cancel their upcoming tour and postpone the release of their latest album, Hot Sauce Committee Part 1.
"I just need to take a little time to get this in check, and then we'll release the record and play some shows," Yauch, 44, said in a video statement on his band's official Web site. "It's a pain in the neck (sorry had to say it) because I was really looking forward to playing these shows, but the doctors have made it clear that this is not the kind of thing that can be put aside to deal with later."

• He's under house arrest in Atlanta awaiting trial on weapons charges, but rapper T.I. got good news from a federal magistrate judge on Thursday: He can leave the house ... to go to church. The rapper (real name: Clifford Harris) can attend Easter services at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church on Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. No word, though, if he can squeeze in a brunch or an egg hunt during his five-plus hours of freedom.
• Paris Hilton is spreading good will in South Africa while on tour with her beau Benji Madden and his band Good Charlotte. The heiress graciously gave out photos of herself in a bikini – then signed them for children. Good Charlotte, meanwhile, is scheduled to play Friday at Johannesburg's New Market Racecourse before heading to Cape Town.
