Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys says he is feeling “healthy, strong and hopeful” that he has beaten cancer, according to a message he shared with the group’s fans this week.
*** BREAKING UPDATE: ADAM YAUCH HAS DIED ***
Yauch sent the e-mail out to the Beastie Boys’ official mailing list after coming back from visiting some Tibetan doctors in India. “MCA” had ventured there just after having surgery at the end of July to extract a cancerous tumor from his left parotid gland.
“I’m taking Tibetan medicine and at the recommendation of the Tibetan doctors I’ve been eating a vegan/organic diet,” Yauch wrote in the e-mail, also adding that his new diet “surprisingly enough was harder to do in India than it is now that I’m back home.”
“I’m feeling healthy, strong and hopeful that I’ve beaten this thing, but of course time will tell.”
The new Beastie Boys CD, “Hot Sauce Committee Part 1,” was put on the back burner when Yauch first revealed that he had cancer on July 20 via a YouTube video.
A new release date for “Hot Sauce Committee Part 1″ has not yet been set.
