Brian Wilson to reunite with Beach Boys?
Written by admin on June 21, 2010 – 9:30 pm -Brian Wilson is likely to reunite with the Beach Boys for writing and recording projects in the near future, according to Mike Love.
It’s not clear whether or not there are plans for Wilson to join the band on tour. |
Mike Love told the Las Vegas Sun:
“We began in the fall of 1961, and our first tour was in 1962, and it’s been nonstop since then. Now we’re gearing up for the 50th anniversary, and Brian Wilson, who has been working on some unfinished Gershwin music project, will rejoin us.” |
This is good news for Beach Boys fans, but is far from a full reunion of the original line up. Both Dennis and Carl Wilson are no longer alive and Love makes no suggestion that Al Jardine is to be involved with future plans. Al has his own touring band, Endless Summer, with his sons.
The Beach Boys tour starts in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on June 25, before hitting Europe and then the US.

Brian continues to amaze me. At his age and all the things he has accomplished in his career he continues to push the envelope and try new things. His latest creation Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin proves he’s not done yet. Shannon
