Zzzz try Wiki, although it may not be 100% accurate.

He had two brothers, Carl a guitarist, he died of cancer. Also Dennis the drummer who drowned.

Brian was bullied by his father Murray, who let him a dogs life.

Brian entered into a life of drug abuse, which culminated in LSD trips from which he never recovered, and he took to his bed for 10 years.

Try and listen to the tracks mentioned above on YouTube they are beautiful. <3

Brian Wilson, lead singer and composer of The Beach Boys has passed away at the age of 82.

Although he had a troubled life, he wrote some of the most beautiful, heart wrenching songs.

Listen to In My Room, I Just Wasnt Made For These Times, I Know there Is An Answer, Warmth of The Sun and they are the true Beach Boys sound. <3 <3

RIP
