Beastie Boys rapper, musician and video director Adam Yauch, known as
MCA in the groundbreaking hip hop trio, has died after a lengthy
illness, TMZ has confirmed. He was 47.

It was announced in 2009 that Yauch had a cancerous parotic gland and
underwent surgery and radiation therapy.

He recently missed the induction ceremony of The Beastie Boys at the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where the rap group was honored.

Yauch is survived by his wife Dechen Wangdu and their daughter Tenzin Losel.

    One of the best concerts i've ever been to was the Beastie Boys! One of the last bands to keep old school hip-hop alive. This is a shame and very sad.

    Sad news. I've never been the biggest rap fan, but The Beastie Boys were such a fun, talented group. I was really bummed when they had to back out of ACL 2009 - they were supposed to headline alongside DMB and Pearl Jam but were replaced by Kings of Leon because of Adam's cancer. I was really looking forward to seeing them. What a shame for his family and friends. 47 seems far too young to go.

    Just heard that on the radio on the way home :(
    We knew he was sick right?
    But I thought at least, that he was getting better..or at least holding his own.
    RIP MCA
    it was a great ride
    peace,

    Terrible. I am so bummed. Sad, sad day. One of the most influential bands for me growing up. RIP MCA.

    I thought he was getting better, I guess he wanted to keep it private. Sad times :(

    This is just like a kick to the gut. Celebrity deaths usually don't impact me too much, but this is at the top with Tim Russert. So sad.

    I truly thought he was in remission and in good shape. Cancer is just awful.

    My 3 1/2 year old son is going to get introduced to the Boys tonight.

    my 5 year old grandson is a huge Beasties fan
    got it from his dad
    he will be devastated
    his favorite song:

    Well my name's Mike D and I got a new name
    And that new name is - LARRY!!

    Well my name is Ad Rock, and then I got a new name
    And my new name is - HARRY!!

    Well my name is MCA, but I got a new name
    And that new name is - GARY!!

    they are so much fun, so sad, i just can't get over this one :(
    peace,

    Like always, I agree with Norm. This is one of those that is just so hard to understand.

    I'm really not a rap fan either. If you look at the rap genre on my iPod it's basically Beastie Boys.

    Too sad...

    I'm wicked bummed out right now. I grew up on the Beastie Boys. Man, my day just took a turn for the worse.

    RIP Adam. You may be gone, but your music and legacy lives forever.
    He who forgets will be destined to remember.
