“The world mourns a genius today, and we grieve for the loss of our cousin, our friend, and our partner in a great musical adventure,” The Beach Boys share in a statement. “Brian Wilson wasn’t just the heart of The Beach Boys—he was the soul of our sound. The melodies he dreamed up and the emotions he poured into every note changed the course of music forever. His unparalleled talent and unique spirit created the soundtrack of so many lives around the globe, including our own.
