Bad news for all you Lolla-goers looking forward to seeing the hip-hop trio in just a few short weeks. The Beastie Boys have cancalled all of their summer shows. Adam "MCA" Yauch was recently diagnosed wtih a cancerous tumor in his salivary gland, but is hoping for a speedy recovery.
From the above YouTube vid posted on their website, the band seems as bummed about the cancellations as the rest of us. And a statement from EMI had an optimistic Yauch saying:
"I just need to take a little time to get this in check, and then we'll release the record and play some shows. It's a pain in the neck (sorry had to say it) because I was really looking forward to playing these shows, but the doctors have made it clear that this is not the kind of thing that can be put aside to deal with later."
While we too were looking forward to what was surely going to be a memorable performance, we wish the whole band the best. But the questions remains -- do you think Lolla should refund Saturday tickets for those who want it?
