While it was being reported yesterday that Beastie Boy Adam Yauch had beaten the cancer that he wad diagnosed with last year, he has since updated the group’s Tumblr page with the following message:
Hello My Friends
While I’m grateful for all the positive energy people are sending my way, reports of my being totally cancer free are exaggerated.
I’m continuing treatment, staying optimistic and hoping to be cancer free in the near future.
It’s not as good news as we thought, but “near future” is pretty hopeful. Let’s hope we see a clean report soon.
