BEASTIE BOYS: Mike D Remembers Adam

Beastie Boys' Mike Diamond commented Monday morning on the passing of his bandmate Adam Yauch. Diamond writes on the band's Facebook page, "Honestly, the last few days have just been a blur of deep emotions for our closest friend, bandmate and really brother. I miss Adam so much. He really served as a great example for myself and so many of what determination, faith, focus and humility coupled with a sense of humor can accomplish. The world is in need of many more like him. We love you, Adam."

Diamond's post also included a photo of a tribute to Yauch on the Madison Square Garden scoreboard on Sunday. He wrote, "This photo sent to me by a friend is just one awesome example of how NYC is such a unique place that amidst its huge size and frenetic pace, it really opens up its heart in so many ways and on so many levels in times like these. And though it makes me cry sometimes, it has been really amazing and moving to see." --Steve Reynolds
