Longtime Beach Boys guitarist Al Jardine will celebrate the catalogue of The Beach Boys with his debut solo tour of Australia this October.

The death of Beach Boys founder Brian Wilson is an immeasurable loss for music and for California, both the place and the dream of it that Wilson conjured with his regal and tender compositions.Wilson was the visionary of the defining American rock band,

"I thought he was going to get better," says Beach Boys co-founder Jardine, who had been hoping to have Wilson make a guest appearance on his upcoming solo tour

Al Jardine shares memories of fellow Beach Boy Brian Wilson and talks about their last meeting a month ago before the singer's unexpected death.

The Beach Boys shared a tribute to Brian Wilson after his family announced his death at the age of 82 on Wednesday, June 11. Al Jardine, Mike Love, John Stamos and Carnie Wilson also honored him.

Wilson, along with the Beach Boys, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Upon his entry into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2000, Paul McCartney — who delivered the induction speech — called Wilson “one of the great American geniuses,” and thanked him “sir, for making me cry.”

I think the most comforting thought right now is that you are reunited with Carl and Dennis, singing those beautiful harmonies again,” founding member Al Jardine said.
