I was just listening to them on Edge when they mentioned that he did pass away. RIP, I kinda like their music...

According to breaking-news reports this morning from Rolling Stone and TMZ, Adam "MC" Yauch, co-founder of Grammy-winners and recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees the Beastie Boys, has died at age 47. Yauch is survived by his wife and daughter. As of this writing, it is unclear if his death is related to the cancer he was treated for in 2009.
Yauch revealed he had cancer in a salivary gland in his neck in July 2009, which delayed the group's touring plans and scheduled September 2009 release of Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 1. The album, later titled Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2, eventually came out in April 2011. Last year, Yauch announced that he was optimistic about treatment, but was not yet cancer-free.
Last month, Yauch did not attend the Beasties' induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. A representative told Rolling Stone at the time: "Beastie Boys regret that Adam 'MCA' Yauch will be unable to join Mike 'Mike D' Diamond and Adam 'Adrock' Horovitz at the band's induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in April. Mike, Adam and Adam are truly grateful for the honor but with only two of the three Beastie Boys attending, they will unfortunately not be able to perform at the ceremony."

Still listen quite a bit of Beastie Boys.

They'll be back.
They just hologramed 2pac.
Deftones have been running with one of their members in a coma for a long time now. ( won't realease the last album he worked on though)
Lynard skynard has lost their lead singer twice and are still going. Plus the guitarist.

A shame is what this is, I listen to the beatie boys all the time and have since I was around 13 and that was some years ago. Rest In Piece.

You mean when I was less than 10 years old? Yeah mom, get me a beastie boys album for my birthday. We'll play that discovery channel song when I blow out my candles.

That being said, I got into Eminem when I was like 11-12...so if they had been popular a little longer I'd have known who this was. I know the beastie boys, I just didn't know this guy was from that group.

[dave2010GT]

This sucks a real legend!!!!

[Jeff-TheBiz]

That sucks..

Saw them in concert a several years back...were incredible.


Brass Monkey for everyone.... raise your glass.

Flawed argument is flawed.

RIP MCA...

Eminem made it big in 99. As were the beastie boys.
And my first album was offspring smash when I was 9. WAY more harsh then beastie boys.

Learn your music boy. Lmao. ( I'm just teasing you. )

Why is FB not flooded with RIP to Adam Yauch?! All you peeps who claim to love hip-hop and are cool...don't you know who MCA is?! You know 1/2 that shit you stuff your iPod with is influenced by the Beastie Boys?! You'd cry for someone who ran a company that makes nice MP3 players...yet, you have no idea who makes the music the iPod is stuffed with...

[boyracer]

RIP Adam.

So many Beastie's memories.

You said it. The beastie boys have been around since the 70's. True hip hop, positive messages. REAL MUSIC.

[dentinger]

The local radio station has been playing Beastie Boys all afternoon.

Definitely made the day go by faster. Pretty sure I blew the speakers outta my radio tho.

I'm really saddened by this though. I was anxiously waiting for them to tour after releasing Hot Sauce Committee part two. Looks like that wont be happen now

REST IN PEACE
:(

And true punk rock. Influenced by bad brains who released an album a few years ago produced by the one of the beastie boys. ( I don't remember which one though)

[The Wolf]

^+1! Not many people realize/remember they were originally a punk band
