American rock legends The Beach Boys have announced a 50th anniversary tour set for next year – but they won’t be joined by Brian Wilson.
Fifteen years after their last album release, (excluding this year’s ‘Smile’, a record of unreleased tracks which hits shelves this Halloween) band-member Al Jardine told of their plans to embark on a 100+ plus legged tour in the US and ‘overseas’ while speaking to the Rolling Stone:
“We’ll do maybe 50 amphitheaters here and 50 or 60 overseas,” revealed Jardine. “It'll be whenever the buyers think is the best time for us. We're wide open for that.”
But, unfortunately for fans, Brian Wilson has decided to not take part in the festivities – after just completing his own solo tour earlier this month. And while age and tiredness may be playing a part in the decision, it seems money is a part too.
“No, there’s been talk that I was going to join the Mike Love group but it's not true,” explained Wilson. “I don't really like working with the guys, but it all depends on how we feel and how much money's involved. Money's not the only reason I made records, but it does hold a place in our lives.”
