The Beastie Boys’ Adam “MCA” Yauch recently addressed his battle with cancer last summer and the status of his group’s upcoming Hot Sauce album.
“It was touch and go there for a while, but I am finally getting my energy back,” Yauch said in an interview. “It was really disappointing to have to hold the record and postpone the tour, but doctor’s orders. We may or may not [release the album] depending on how my health is come September. We want to but we have to play it by ear. I was just talking to Adam [Horovitz] and Mike [D] today on the phone and we were talking about working on it a bit. We finished the record over a year ago, so we want to take a look at it and re-evaluate and make sure it is what we want to put out there and that we are still happy with it. I don’t think we will change it up too much.” (Entertainment Weekly)
