Adam Yauch, aka MCA, just recently announced on http://beastieboys.com/, the band's website, that he has cancer in his parotid gland and in a lymph node. In the video he says that it is localized and that since it has not spread throughout the rest of his body/they caught it early, he should recover just fine. Apparently it is very treatable and in most cases they can eliminate it completely. As a result of this medical condition they are canceling some shows, which he apologized for in the video, where he appears beside fellow band mate Adam Horovitz, aka Ad-Rock.
They are very at ease in the video and even crack a few jokes, including Ad-Rock starting a country band in the vein of Kenny Loggins. I have been a die-hard Beastie Boys fan for many years, so I wish Adam Yauch a speedy recovery!
And so it goes...

Shelley,
Well there are a couple reasons:
1. They haven't been there for years even though the show has been on that long
2. There are many times when he has taken and eaten all the food and hides things around for himself
3. Last season time was brought into things, so he ate very well with th Dharma people in the 70s.
And lastly....maybe they would have to pay him more to drop weight or that will be in the final season?
Thanks for coming by,
T.
I have been a fan since 8th grade. Man I wish a speedy recovery. It's me again from SITS! Happy Sharefest!
