Beastie Boy Adam “MCA” Rock Has Cancer
This is not good news at all. Adam “MCA” Rock, 44 has been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in a salivary gland that requires immediate surgery. MCA released a video statement and said:
“The good news is that they did scans of my whole body and it’s only localized in this one area and it’s not in a place that affects my voice. So, that’s nice. That’s convenient.”
Originally the Adam found out about the cancer when:
“About two months ago, I started feeling this little lump in my throat, like you would feel if you have swollen glands or something like that, like you’d feel if you have a cold, so I didn’t really think it was anything,”
Luckily Adam’s vocal chords are not affected by the cancer! The Beastie Boys have cancelled all of their concerts while MCA gets treatment. He is expected to make a full recovery. In addition to delaying their tour the bands next album “Hot Sauce Committee Part 1,” will not be released yet.
Get better MCA Rock!
