My thoughts are with his family and friends...

Thank you for the good times and inspiration...

I did not cry when my grandmother died, but I cried at this news. I am so sad right now. Thanks MCA for some great music and showing your bizarre sense of humor in your music videos. You will be sorely missed.

this is what i was afraid of.

thanks to the universe for giving us yauch for all these years.

a lot of us feel like he's family and this strikes many of us as though he was.

having grown up listening to yauch, grown closer to the music, the message and the group.. i just can't believe he's gone.

even though we all knew that there was a chance this might happen sooner rather than later this is still a shock.

i am so thankful for the time i've/we've gotten to 'spend' with yauch... albums, shows, videos, interviews and thoughts - he has thoroughly filled our lives with a part of himself that will always live on through each of us forever.

i feel that as the man grew, many of us have grown. thank you for in your own way guiding all of us through many of the difficulties of growing up through your example.

thank you for teaching me/us that you are never doomed to be just one you, that life is all about evolution - growth and becoming a better person.

thank you for teaching me/us that individuality doesn't come from your clothes or the color of your hair, but rather from your willingness to live from your heart authentically.

thank you adam yauch.


many condolences to his family and to mike and adam.

beastie boys forever.

Looks like an official statement:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...actions-320420

"It is with great sadness that we confirm that musician, rapper, activist and director Adam 'MCA' Yauch, founding member of Beastie Boys and also of the Milarepa Foundation that produced the Tibetan Freedom Concert benefits, and film production and distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories, passed away in his native New York City this morning after a near-three-year battle with cancer. He was 47 years old," Yauch's band mates Michael Diamond aka Mike D, Adam Horovitz aka Ad-Rock and Michael Schwartz aka Mix Master Mike said in a statement via their publicity company, Nasty Little Man.
