thedailywhat: RIP: Adam “MCA” Yauch, at 47: Adam “MCA” Yauch, who co-founded pioneering hip-hop group the Beastie Boys with Mike “Mike D” Diamond and Adam “Ad-Rock” Horowitz in 1979, has died. He was 47. Yauch had been in treatment for cancer since 2009, when doctors discovered a tumor in his salivary gland. Earlier this year, Yauch posted this on the band’s website: Hello My Friends While I’m grateful for all the positive energy people are sending my way, reports of my being totally cancer free are exaggerated. I’m continuing treatment, staying optimistic and hoping to be cancer free in the near future. In addition to the Beastie Boys, Yauch was heavily involved in the Free Tibet movement and co-organized the Tibetan Freedom Concerts in the ’90s. He is survived by his wife and daughter.
