Beastie Boys: New Album 'Hot Sauce Committee' Will Go Ahead As Planned

January 6, 2011
Beastie Boys: New Album 'Hot Sauce Committee' Will Go Ahead As PlannedBeastie Boys have announced that their new album will go ahead as planned despite bandmate Adam Yauch's illness.

The band will release the second part of double album 'Hot Sauce Committee' as planned in Spring.

The first instalment of the two-part record was due to arrive last year, but was delayed after rapper Adam Yauch was diagnosed with cancer.

"It's still delayed - the first one. The second one is coming out as originally scheduled. We've got a video we got to finish, a big video. I know people don't make big videos any more but we made a big video," rapper Mike D told Radio 1.

On whether the band will tour he added: "We're still going to have to see how he's [Yauch] doing."

Meanwhile, Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch is set to turn the band's 1987 '(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)' into a short film.
