Beastie Boys Cancel Shows, Lolla Included



Adam Yauch (aka MCA) has been diagnosed with cancer, and the Beastie Boys have canceled their upcoming shows while he receives treatment. Here's a link:

Obviously this sucks for Adam and the boys, but the timing is lousy as well. The rappers were scheduled to headline All Points West, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and Austin City Limits. That's quite the schedule, and it's too bad fans at these festivals will be forced to miss out. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery for MCA. Yup, these guys are old.

UPDATE: The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have replaced the Beastie Boys on the Lolla lineup. Ouch.
