RADIOHEAD‘s Thom Yorke has posted a message on the band’s website titled “Dot Connectors”, where he pays his respects to Adam Yauch of the BEASTIE BOYS, who died last Friday.
It reads as follows:
I was very sad to hear the news of Adam Yauch’s death yesterday.
We looked up to the Beastie Boys a lot when we were starting out and how they maintained artistic control making wicked records but still were on a major label, and the Tibetan Freedom Concerts they organized had a very big influence on me personally and the way Adam conducted himself and dealt with it all impressed me a lot. He was a mellow and v smart guy. May he rest in peace.
BEASTIE BOYS live:
