Beastie Boy Has 'Very Treatable' Cancer

Posted Jul 20th 2009 2:15PM by TMZ Staff

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."
