Beastie Boys re-evaluate album as Yauch recovers
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 10 March 2010
Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch has said that the band are planning to get back to the studio to complete work on new album, ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part 1’, which was delayed while he underwent surgery for cancer. He added that, depending on how his ongoing recovery progresses, the record may be out in September.
As previously reported, Yauch revealed that he had developed a cancerous tumour in his throat to fans in a video statement released via the band’s official website last July. Following surgery in the US, he then retreated to India to recover.
Earlier this week he told EW.com: “I feel better. It was touch and go there for a while, but I am finally getting my energy back. 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. 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”.
