Beastie Boys
In a new interview with the Guardian, the Beastie Boys said that had no plans to tour in support of their newly released album, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. Released last week, the record is the first (non-instrumental) studio album from the band since 2004's To The 5 Boroughs. In the intervening years, they released a instrumental record, The Mix-Up as well as deluxe, remastered reissues Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Communication and Hello Nasty.



Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz explained why the trio was not planning to hit the road just yet:

[Adam "MCA" Yauch is] doing OK. He's still in treatment, so it's not 100%. But things are lookin' good. We're not touring, we're just getting the record out – and we're not making any plans until he is better. Which is definitely gonna happen. It's a very strange thing. Unfortunately, we've had a high attrition rate of friends growing up in New York, but more from drug overdoses and crazy shit like that. This is, actually, the first time that a friend who is a contemporary – basically one of my best friends for life – called me up to say: 'Hey, I've got some really bad news,' and having a really serious illness. And when you're friends for a long time, and one of that group of friends gets a very serious, potentially terminal illness, it's just kind of like … It's a game-changer, if you will.
