The Beastie Boys played a legendary headlining set at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival on June 12, 2009. Unbeknownst to the crowd at the time, this 90-minute performance would go down in history as the trio's final concert ever, due to the cancer diagnosis of Adam 'MCA' Yauch. The cancer proved far more aggressive than anyone had thought, taking Adam’s life in May 2012, less than three years after the diagnosis. The group’s concert at Bonnaroo remains a testament to the brilliance of MCA and the strength of the Beastie Boys as a unit. The 90-minute appearance saw the group deliver a career-spanning set covering everything from Ill Communication to Check Your Head and Hello Nasty. Midway through the set, Nas arrived onstage to perform a rendition of ‘Too Many Rappers’ from the Beastie Boy’s then-forthcoming LP Hot Sauce Committee, which was eventually released in 2011, a year after Adam’s passing.
