Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys, dies aged 82; family announces passing amid ongoing health struggles.

In Short:
Brian Wilson, co-creator of the Beach Boys, has died at 82, leaving a legacy of iconic music despite personal struggles. His family confirmed the news and requested privacy as they mourn his passing.

Brian Wilson, the renowned singer-songwriter and co-creator of the Beach Boys, has died at the age of 82.

His family confirmed the news through a statement on his official website and social media on Wednesday, US time.

They expressed their sorrow, stating they were heartbroken and asked for privacy as they grieve.

The cause of death has not been disclosed.

In recent years, Wilson struggled with dementia and could not care for himself, especially following the death of his wife Melinda in early 2024, leading to a conservatorship arrangement by his family.

Wilson was known for his exceptional talent in melody and arrangements, having created iconic songs such as “Good Vibrations” and “California Girls.”

His work positioned the Beach Boys as one of the most influential bands alongside The Beatles during the 1960s.

From 1962 to 1966, they produced numerous hits, becoming America’s best-selling band, but Wilson faced significant challenges including depression and substance abuse.

He later returned to complete the Beach Boys’ unfinished album, Smile, which is considered his masterpiece.

Born on June 20, 1942, Wilson found refuge in music during a difficult upbringing.

He founded the band with his brothers and cousin, achieving tremendous success despite adversities throughout the 1960s.

The Beach Boys, known for their harmony and upbeat sound, had over 30 singles in the Top 40 and sold over 100 million records. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.
