Goodbye to the leader of the beach boys brian Wilson
The leader of the Beach Boys Brian Wilson. The family is reported by the family. This is the message: “We are grieved in announcing the disappearance of our beloved Father Brian Wilson. At this moment we are speechless. Please respect our privacy in this moment of family mourning. We are aware of sharing our pain with the world.”
Brian Wilson began to study the accordion at an early age, then he gave himself to the study of the piano. After a brief experience at college, he abandoned his studies and formed a band with his brothers, Dennis and Carl, the cousin Mike Love and his friend at Jardine, the pendletones. The group recorded the first single, “Surfin ‘”, in 1961, choosing a theme linked to surfing, inspired by the interest of Dennis for this sport.
After “Surfin ‘” became a small success in California, the first group of the group changed their name to
Beach Boys
. In October 1962 they released their first official album, “Surfin ‘Safari”.
In 1963, he collaborated with Jan and Dean, for whom he co-disclosed the hit “surf city”, which reached the first place in the sales ranking. The beach boys in that first part of the sixties became synonymous with Californian music and engraved a large number of successes. In the second part of the Sixties the group, on the push of Brian Wilson, incorporated other sounds that led to the publication of the album in 1967 “Pet sounds” (Read the review here), one of the most important in the whole history of pop rock.
At that time he began to have serious mental health problems. In 1964, due to a series of factors: the tense family relationships, the professional pressure, the growing use of drugs had a collapse and retired from the tours with the beach boys. For over a decade Wilson lived retired and then falling into a deep depression and in a series of ups and downs that compromised its artistic production. He left the beach boys in the mid -eighties and in 1988 he released “Brian Wilson” the first of a dozen solo albums. At the beginning of 2024 it was revealed that he suffered from dementia. Today, nine days after his 83rd birthday, death.
