He was 47 years old. (source) Mr. Yauch, thank you so much for everything you have done to make this world a better place, I appreciate it a lot. May your soul rest in peace. About the photo:Left to right: Adam Yauch (MCA), Adam Horovitz (King Ad-Rock), Mike Diamond (Mike D) Los Angeles, 1998: I was in L.A., and the Beastie Boys were playing there, and I called to ask if I could go to the show. And their manager said, “Yeah — as a matter of fact, could you spend a little time with them before the show and maybe shoot some pictures?” And I shoot with a lot of different cameras, so I have a whole pile of cameras sitting behind me. So [Adam] Yauch said, “Lemme see that Hasselblad.” I thought he was just gonna check it out, and he turned it on me. I should run the one he took of me and this one. (Danny Clinch)
