Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys and a musical genius, passed away at 82, as announced by his family. John Stamos, an honorary member of the Beach Boys, shared the poignant moment of informing bandmate Mike Love about Wilson's death, noting Love's stunned silence. Wilson, who faced numerous health challenges including dementia, played a pivotal role in creating the band's iconic sound. This news coincided with Love's induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, where he paid tribute to Wilson as the essence of the group's musical legacy.
I said, 'Mike, your cousin passed away,' and his face went blank. We sat in the car for two and a half hours or so ... he didn't say one word.
Brian Wilson wasn't just the heart of The Beach Boys-he was the soul of our sound.
Though Love remained speechless after learning of Wilson's death, I knew how he was feeling.
They made beautiful music together.
