NEW YORK, July 20 (UPI) -- Beastie Boys member Adam "MCA" Yauch announced on the hip-hop band's Web site Monday that he is suffering from a "very treatable" form of cancer.
"Unfortunately, we're going to have to cancel a bunch of our shows coming up and push back our record release," Yauch explained in a video posted on the Web site.
The musician recalled feeling a lump in his throat in May, and noted how he contacted his physicians and had some tests done about two weeks ago when the discomfort didn't go away.
"I actually have a form of cancer," he said. "It's in the gland called the parotid gland and the lymph node near it. I'm actually going to have surgery probably next week coming up and then after that have radiation localized in that area. The good news is they did a scan of my whole body and it's only located in this one area and it's not in a place that affects my voice, so that's nice. ... They've caught it early and it's not anywhere else in my body, so that's the good news."
He apologized to his fans for any inconvenience the postponed concert schedule causes.
"We'll be back doing this soon," Yauch added.
