His family posted a statement on Facebook and Instagram on Wednesday 11 June.<br \/>\nBrian Douglas Wilson was born on 20 June, 1942 in Inglewood, and grew up in Hawthorne, California. From an early age he was able to learn by ear and only had to hear a few verses from a song to reproduce the melody.<\/p>\n<p>In 1961 Brian and his brothers Carl and Dennis, cousin Mike Love and their friend Al Jardine formed a band named The Beach Boys. The hits came straight away: \u201cSurfin\u2019U.S.A.\u201d, \u201cSurfer Girl\u201d, \u201cBe True to Your School\u201d, \u201cFun, Fun, Fun\u201d. The songs were all written by Brian Wilson. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In 1964 Brian had a nervous breakdown and decided to stay at home while the others toured the world. When they came back, Brian had written a great song \u201cCalifornia Girls\u201d and created a gorgeous album: \u201cPet Sounds\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Songs on that album included \u201cWouldn\u2019t It Be Nice\u201d, \u201cSloop John B\u201d, \u201cGod Only Knows\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The album didn\u2019t do well in the States but the next new song went worldwide: \u201cGood Vibrations\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Beach Boys continued touring without Brian who stayed at home and made music which resulted in his 1988 solo album \u201cBrian Wilson\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024 his family revealed he was suffering from dementia.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Wilson is survived by his 7 children, including Carnie and Wendy.<\/p>\n<p>Ringside Report sends their condolences to the Wilson Family in their time of grief.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;
