Brooklyn Park Renamed After Beastie Boy Adam Yauch


In honor of the late Beastie Boys member Adam "MCA" Yauch, the Brooklyn Heights playground in New York City has been renamed Adam Yauch Park. The ceremony took place on 4 May - the first anniversary of Beastie Boy Adam Yauch's death - and saw fellow Beastie Boy Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz and Yauch's mother, Frances Yauch, both give sentimental and heart-felt speeches. Adam Yauch died at the age of 47 due to cancer, leaving behind a wife, a daughter, and of course a legacy of outstanding music.
