This is truly a sad day at Scenestar headquarters. Adam Yauch, AKA MCA, of Beastie Boys has passed away at age 47 after a bout with cancer. It felt like just yesterday that Beastie Boys canceled their 2009 tour and had hope that since the tumor was caught early, Adam Yauch would be able to return following treatment soon so we could see him live once again. At the time of the announcement, Beastie Boys had shows at the Santa Barbara Bowl and Hollywood Bowl that were met with much excitement and anticipation at hearing new material live. We will miss Adam Yauch along with the joy that he and rest of Beastie Boys brought into our lives through their music. We hope Adam Yauch is pain free and doing what he loves wherever the afterlife takes him. At the jump is the original statement and video from Beastie Boys explaining Adam's battle with cancer as well as the official statement from Beastie Boys concerning his death. RIP Adam Yauch.

We were sad when we heard the news this morning on the passing of one of our favorite artists, Blues singer Etta James, who passed away at age 73, just days shy of her 74th birthday on Jan. 25. We were saddened by the cancellation of the Etta James and The Roots Band performance at the Hollywood Bowl with Adele and Janelle Monáe, later replaced with Chaka Khan back in 2009.
We at The Scenestar hope that Etta James is in a better place following her fight with dementia, hepatitus C and leukemia that she lost today in a Riverside hospital. Etta James will always be remembered by us through her music and thankful for her to share her art with the rest of the world. R.I.P. Etta James.
Adele is back with a new video for her single, "Turning Tables", live from her performance at The Royal Albert Hall off of her recent release, 21. We last saw Adele play at the Hollywood Palladium and Greek Theatre but doesn't have a scheduled return date in Los Angeles. Adele is currently recovering from vocal cord surgery. We'll keep you posted on any new Adele tour dates in Los Angeles once she recovers Scenestar readers!
