Very sad to hear. He was a regular customer of the health food store in West Hollywood where I worked when I was in high school. RIP.

Sad news indeed, saw them in 1973 at Wembley Stadium with Elton John,The Eagles , Joe Walsh , they stole the show.

Just finished listening to Pet Sounds. Forgot how much I loved Beach Boys music until I heard today’s news. ️

So sorry to hear this. They were the music of my teenage years.

RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it.

Brian Wilson was a towering colossus of musical talent.

First Sly, now Brian. These usually happen in threes.

Sad, but a good long full life.

RIP

R.I.P. Brian.

He heard music in a way very, very few musicians ever do. Genius.

 

[trudger]

Brilliant musician.

 

[brian64]

An immense creative talent.

I'm sorry he lost his brothers so young, but glad he outlived his trauma, his demons and his abusers...and had a long stretch in the latter part of his life where he was apparently able to put all that behind him.

RIP Brian...thanks for the music.

What a great mind he had. His music will live on forever, so we shouldn't be too sad.

If you haven't seen it, I really enjoyed the film Love and Mercy about his situation and comeback.

 

[Servant King]

Seems appropriate to play this one...

It was a really good movie.

Who fills these kind of shoes? Sadly, I never saw him perform. The one time I saw the Beach Boys on stage, it was without Brian. We saw them perform a few times on the 4th of July in Washington, DC. But with the crowd, you could never really get close to say "we say him". Brian and Sly, two tortured souls, RIP.

 

[BingBong]

I may be wrong, but I'm sure one of his key comeback shows was at the Royal Festival Hall in London, absolutely astonished the slightly skeptical audience. Hats of to him, what a trooper. RIP.

A little known brush with the law Brian had back in the day:
