BEASTIE BOYS - BEASTIE BOYS BECOME MAHJONGG MASTERS

The BEASTIE BOYS have traded in their wild rock 'n' roll antics in favour of indulging their passion for playing board games on their tour bus.

After 20 years in the music industry, MIKE 'MIKE D' DIAMOND, ADAM 'MCA' YAUCH and ADAM 'AD-ROCK' HOROVITZ are calming down and no longer party as hard as they used to.

Ad-Rock confesses, "We play SCRABBLE on our bus now. And MAHJONGG too. I'm the best at Scrabble. When we're on tour, I find out where the local Scrabble club is.

"I'm not that good, so I kinda lay low. I mean, there are people out there who are really into Scrabble - they take it very seriously. Not that I don't take it seriously.

"My favourite Scrabble town is New York, but I don't want to give away the name of my favourite club, because I don't want people to start showing up."
