M.I.A.: How Dare Tenacious D Take The Stage After Me!
M.I.A. was showing her diva side with her Twitter followers moments ago after learning she’d be performing after Tenacious D due to the Beastie Boys pulling out of Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival in San Francisco on August 30th. The British alt hip hop artist writes:
Shows 7 dayz away! I better go make outfits!
p.s I originally booked on shows coz Beasties were headliners, but now they ain’t doing it and I jus wanna say, we have to go hard!!!
Can’t believe they replaced Beasties with Tenacious D??? And if I pull out they sue! So really? Tenacious D after me?
So me and Jack Black are back to back, Beasties get well soon!
You’re all welcome on stage from the get go, fu** it! I’m takin ‘Bird Flu’ out of the set! Just to make a point!
Adam Yauch Has Cancer
The Beastie Boys post a video on their website announcing Adam Yauch has a “very treatable” cancerous tumor in his salivary gland, forcing the band to cancel their summer tour dates. Yauch said he’s having surgery next week. “They did scans of my whole body and it’s only localized in this one area,” he explained. “It’s not in a place that affects my voice, so that’s nice. It’s convenient. So anyway, it’s a bit of a setback. It’s a pain in the ass, but it’s something that is very treatable in most cases.” Watch a report from ITN below.
