Adam Yauch

Blow out the candles, all you rock stars celebrating birthdays in August.

Can you believe all these rockers are turning 60 this year?

On May 4, 2012, the music world was dealt a crushing blow.

'You can't stand it, you know we planned it!'

Graffitied swastikas and 'Go Trump' messages upset many who visited Adam Yauch Park, where the late Beastie Boys MC played as a kid..

This weekend will be rife with memories of late Beastie Boys musician Adam Yauch and the celebration of his life began Friday (May 3) in Brooklyn Heights, New York where the park where he played as a kid was officially named Adam Yauch Park in his honor. Today (May 4) officially marks the one-year anniversary of his death and there has been a movement over the last year to rename the Palmetto Play

Last year, fans still in shock from the death of influential Beastie Boys rapper Adam Yauch gathered together in New York's Union Square to share their memories of the late emcee, and this year the second annual 'MCA Day' is set to take place in Brooklyn to salute Yauch's memory.

The surviving Beastie Boys and the estate of late member Adam Yauch have filed a lawsuit against Monster Energy for the unauthorized use of their music in a new promotional campaign -- and as the recently filed will of Yauch makes clear, the group will never agree to license its songs for ads.

When Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch of the Beastie Boys passed away earlier this year (May 4), it was a devastating blow to the music community. However, just a few short months later, fans are coming together to celebrate his life.

Adam Horovitz and Mike Diamond are still dealing with the loss of their longtime Beastie Boys bandmate Adam Yauch, and have now addressed his death in separate interviews with Rolling Stone.
