The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson Dead at 82
Brian Wilson, who was a cofounder of the Beach Boys, has died after being diagnosed with a neurocognitive disorder
Wilson’s family previously requested a conservatorship over his person in February 2024, revealing in court documents that he suffered from a “major neurocognitive disorder such as dementia.” They filed the motion to “ensure that all of [his] daily living needs [were satisfied] and he [had] the best possible care while remaining in his home.” Born in California in June 1942, Wilson formed the Beach Boys alongside his brothers, Dennis and Carl, cousin Mike Love and high school friend Al Jardine in 1961. The group spent the decade releasing a string of hit singles and chart-topping albums, but Wilson ultimately took a step back from the band amid issues with addiction and mental illness.
