MCA has cancer. Whaaaa?

I received an email from the Beastie Boys this afternoon, with “Houston, we have a problem” in the subject line. In the email was a link to the video below, of MCA announcing that they are cancelling their upcoming shows and the new album release because they discovered that he has cancer in one of his glands, and one of his lymph nodes. Apparently it is treatable, and he will be getting surgery next week. I’m pretty bummed. They are pretty much the main reason that I wanted to go to All Points West, at the end of the month. Anyway, I’m even more bummed that one of the guys who I grew up listening to, has come down with something so serious. I am glad that it appears to be totally treatable though. Here is the vid, if you want to check it.
