In a posting on the band's website, Yauch reveals a cancerous tumour（恶性肿瘤） in his left salivary（唾液的） gland（腺） will need surgery. He is expected to fully recover.

"I just need a little time to get this in check and then we'll release the record and play some shows," he wrote.

Hot Sauce Committee Part I was due to be released on 15 September.

The band had been due to play a number of headlining（车顶织物衬里） slots at festivals across the US, including the Lollapalooza event.

One of the act's last live performances was at Tennessee's Bonnaroo music festival last month.
