House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that Adam Yauch, a member of the Beastie Boys known as MCA who passed away on Friday after a battle with cancer, was an “agent of change.”

“As an artist, Adam Yauch changed the course of music; as a humanitarian, he changed lives,” Pelosi said in a statement. “He was a creative genius who used his powerful platform and celebrity to address the cause of human rights for the people of Tibet.”
