"Beastie Boys frontman Adam Yauch has denied reports suggesting he is now free of cancer. Fellow bandmember Mike D was recently interviewed by Zane Lowe on Radio 1 and claimed that Yauch had received the all-clear from the disease. However, Yauch has now been forced to release a corrective statement after media outlets interpreted Mike D&amp;#039;s comments as implying that Yauch was completely cured. &amp;quot;While I&amp;#039;m grateful for all the positive energy people are sending my way, reports of my being totally cancer-free are exaggerated,&amp;quot; Yauch said, according to Undercover FM. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m continuing treatment, staying optimistic, and hoping to be cancer-free in the near future.&amp;quot; Despite Yauch&amp;#039;s health issues, the Beastie Boys are currently working on two new studio albums due to be released over the course of the year.
