Beastie Boy Adam Yauch died today after his long battle with cancer at the age of 47. The Beastie Boys have issued a statement on their official site<\/a> concerning their bandmate’s death for the fans, and now, many outlets<\/a> are now posting the official statement for all of the public to see. Take a look at the full statement below:<\/p>\n

Adam Yauch | 1964-2012
\nIt is with great sadness that we confirm that musician, rapper, activist and director Adam \u201cMCA\u201d Yauch, founding member of Beastie Boys and also of the Milarepa Foundation that produced the Tibetan Freedom Concert benefits, and film production and distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories, passed away in his native New York City this morning after a near-three-year battle with cancer. He was 47 years old.<\/p>\n

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Yauch taught himself to play bass in high school, forming a band for his 17th birthday party that would later become known the world over as Beastie Boys.<\/p>\n

With fellow members Michael \u201cMike D\u201d Diamond and Adam \u201cAdrock\u201d Horovitz, Beastie Boys would go on to sell over 40 million records, release four #1 albums\u2013including the first hip hop album ever to top the Billboard 200, the band\u2019s 1986 debut full length, Licensed To Ill\u2013win three Grammys, and the MTV Video Vanguard Lifetime Achievement award. Last month Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, with Diamond and Horovitz reading an acceptance speech on behalf of Yauch, who was unable to attend.<\/p>\n

In addition to his hand in creating such historic Beastie Boys albums as Paul\u2019s Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Communication, Hello Nasty and more, Yauch was a founder of the Milarepa Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting awareness and activism regarding the injustices perpetrated on native Tibetans by Chinese occupational government and military forces. In 1996, Milarepa produced the first Tibetan Freedom Concert in San Francisco\u2019s Golden Gate Park, which was attended by 100,000 people, making it the biggest benefit concert on U.S. soil since 1985?s Live Aid. The Tibetan Freedom Concert series would continue to stage some of the most significant benefit shows in the world for nearly a decade following in New York City, Washington DC, Tokyo, Sydney, Amsterdam, Taipei and other cities.<\/p>\n

In the wake of September 11, 2001, Milarepa organized New Yorkers Against Violence, a benefit headlined by Beastie Boys at New York\u2019s Hammerstein Ballroom, with net proceeds disbursed to the New York Women\u2019s Foundation Disaster Relief Fund and the New York Association for New Americans (NYANA) September 11th Fund for New Americans\u2013each chosen for their efforts on behalf of 9\/11 victims least likely to receive help from other sources.<\/p>\n

Under the alias of Nathanial H\u00f6rnblow\u00e9r, Yauch directed iconic Beastie Boys videos including \u201cSo Whatcha Want,\u201d \u201cIntergalactic,\u201d \u201cBody Movin\u201d and \u201cCh-Check It Out.\u201d Under his own name, Yauch directed last year\u2019s Fight For Your Right Revisited, an extended video for \u201cMake Some Noise\u201d from Beastie Boys\u2019 Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, starring Elijah Wood, Danny McBride and Seth Rogen as the 1986 Beastie Boys, making their way through a half hour of cameo-studded misadventures before squaring off against Jack Black, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as Beastie Boys of the future.<\/p>\n

Yauch\u2019s passion and talent for filmmaking led to his founding of Oscilloscope Laboratories, which in 2008 released his directorial film debut, the basketball documentary Gunnin\u2019 For That #1 Spot and has since become a major force in independent video distribution, amassing a catalogue of such acclaimed titles as Kelly Reichardt\u2019s Wendy and Lucy, Oren Moverman\u2019s The Messenger, Banksy\u2019s Exit Through The Gift Shop, Lance Bangs and Spike Jonze\u2019s Tell Them Anything You Want: A Portrait Of Maurice Sendak, and many more.<\/p>\n

Yauch is survived by his wife Dechen and his daughter Tenzin Losel, as well as his parents Frances and Noel Yauch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
