Beastie Boys star ADAM YAUCH is making plans to play legendary U.S. music festival Coachella in 2010 - just a year after he had surgery to remove a cancerous tumour.
The rapper underwent the operation in July (09) after doctors diagnosed him with the disease, and he pulled out of a series of festival slots over the summer in a bid to fully beat the illness.
And after months studying ancient Buddhist medicine in Tibet, the No Sleep Till Brooklyn hitmaker insists he's fighting fit - and in talks with his bandmates to make a return to the music scene next year (10).
He tells Movie Line, "I'm feeling fine now, after the surgery. But it's definitely an interesting thing, you know?
"(Coachella) That's definitely something we're discussing and trying to figure out if that makes sense. Believe me, it would be fun if it does come together."
