BRIAN WILSON PASSES AWAY AT AGE 82
Brian Wilson, the prolific songwriter, singer, record producer and co-founder of the legendary rock band, the Beach Boys, has passed away, at the age of 82.
Although often tormented by mental illness in his personal life, Brian is admired by his fans and peers in the music industry alike, including Elton John, The Who's Keith Moon and Paul McCartney to name a few.
