About Those Brian Wilson / Beach Boys Reunion Rumors
Have you heard the news about Brian Wilson reuniting with The Beach Boys for the groupís 50th anniversary tour? Wilson says it ainít happening.
Apparently those reports were based on comments made to a Las Vegas Sun reporter by Beach Boy Mike Love.
ìNow weíre gearing up for the 50th anniversary, and Brian Wilson, who has been working on some unfinished Gershwin music project, will rejoin us.î Love said, as quoted by the Sun.
News that Brian Wilson would rejoin his old band quickly spread through the blogosphere and eventually into mainstream media reports.
For example, Fox News ran with the headline ìBrian Wilson To Rejoin Beach Boys For 50th Anniversary Tourî while the Toronto Sun printed ìWilson Back With Beach Boys.î
But the man at the center of the story says itís not in the cards.
From BrianWilson.com: ìIn response to recent stories Mike Love had the following comments: ëThe Beach Boys continue to tour approximately 150 shows a year in multiple countries. At this time there are no plans for my cousin Brian to rejoin the tour. He has new solo projects on the horizon and I wish him love and success. We have had some discussions of writing and possibly recording together, but nothing has been planned.íî
And just to make sure readers, especially those connected working for news services, didnít misunderstand the message, the Mike Love quote ends with him saying, ìThere are no current ëreunioní tour plans.î
Oh, well, itís never too late to start planning that 75th year reunion tour.
