Beastie Boy Has 'Very Treatable' Cancer

Beastie Boy Adam Yauch took to YouTube this morning to announce he'll be having surgery next week on a "treatable" cancerous tumor in his salivary gland -- but is only calling it a "little bit of a setback."



Though the group had to cancel upcoming shows and is pushing back their new record release, Yauch promises "We'll be back doing it soon."

10. Yauch, all the best, brother, and here's to you coming out on top!

@Commentors 1-3: You guys are pathetic, and represent the wrong in humanity... Go get a life, and in the process, learn what it is to have empathy. Think of how you'll be greeted if you have cancer, to have someone jumping on your grave yelling "FIRST!". Bloody losers...

15. Many men in their 40s and 50s are getting cancer of salivary glands and other parts of their mouth/throats because of guess what? Oral sex that transmitted the HPV virus many years ago and slowly developed into cancer. This is the same virus that causes cervical cancer in women. Just another scary thing about promiscuous sex.
