Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In a new interview with the Guardian in the UK, hip hop legends Beastie Boys revealed that despite misleading reports on Adam (MCA) Yauch's health, he hasn’t fully recovered from cancer and the band won’t tour their new album until he is back in good form.
"He's doing OK," stated fellow Beastie Boy Adam Horowitz (aka Ad-Rock) on Yauch's condition, in an interview with the Guardian last week. In 2009, Yauch was diagnosed with throat cancer, which Horowitz described as a "game-changer." "He's still in treatment so it's not 100 percent...We're not touring, we're just getting the record out - and we're not making any plans until he is better."
On May 2, the Beastie Boys released the long-awaited Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, their first non-instrumental full-length in seven years. The new album includes a collaboration with rapper Nas titled "Too Many Rappers," which released in July 2009 and was nominated for a Grammy Award.
The band has won three Grammy Awards and received critical acclaim for its albums such as Check Your Head, Ill Communication, and Hello Nasty, the latter of which hit number one on charts in the US, the UK, and Australia.
