Beach Boys star Brian Wilson has dementia

New conservatorship is being proposed for the musician, following the death of his wife Melinda in January, according to court documents

According to court documents for the conservatorship filing, obtained by US site the Blast, Wilson “does not have the capacity to give informed consent to the administration of medications appropriate to the care and treatment of major neurocognitive disorders (including dementia)”. A doctor wrote in the documents that Wilson would not be able to attend a court hearing about the conservatorship, as he “often makes spontaneous irrelevant or incoherent utterances, has very short attention span and while unintentionally disruptive, is frequently unable to maintain decorum appropriate to the situation.” In further Wilson news, earlier this week it was announced that Cows in the Pasture, a long-lost, half-finished country music album he made in 1970 with Beach Boys former manager Fred Vail on vocals, is being completed and prepared for release in 2025.
