Beastie Boys star Adam Yauch dies aged 47
47! 
Cancer!
Meanwhile I see also that:
Jamaican double bassist Lloyd Brevett, whose band The Skatalites pioneered ska music and paved the way for reggae, has died at the age of 80.
AND
Brevett suffered a stroke in March, two weeks after his son was murdered.
Thirty two-year-old Okine was shot outside the family's home in Kingston hours after he had accepted a Jamaican music industry award on his father's behalf.
