Beastie Boys cancel ACL appearance

Shortly after Monday’s release of the official Austin City Limits Music Festival schedule, the Beastie Boys, who were set to headline the festival, announced they would cancel.

The Beastie Boys announced they would cancel all of their tour dates in a video released on their Web site.

Singer Adam Yauch said he was diagnosed last week with a cancerous tumor in his left parotid, or salivary gland.

Luckily, the tumor was caught early and has been localized in one area. The tumor is considered treatable. He said doctors told him it would not affect his voice.

The ACL Music Festival takes place Oct. 2-4 at Zilker Park.

The official ACL Web site breaks down each day with an
organized time and performer chart in 15-minute increments.
