As a documentary about the band launches, members Bruce Johnston and Mike Love recall singing a cappella with Brian Wilson, and their 'Spinal Tap' moment‘ bassist Bruce Johnston came back to his London hotel room to find two surprise guests: John Lennon and Paul McCartney. “Kim Fowley was waiting for me in the lobby and said, ‘Bruce, I’ve let Lennon and McCartney into your suite because they want to hear, taking it as a personal challenge to reach new creative heights.
There are also new reflections from Brian, who at 81 and after decades of mental health problems with bipolar schizoaffective disorder, has just beenby a Los Angeles court. A judge ruled that owing to a “major neurocognitive disorder” and following the death of his wife of 27 years, Melinda, in January, he is “unable to properly provide for his own personal needs”.
“He disenfranchised his sons and his grandchildren,” Love says. But there is a poignancy to their origin story, how the Wilsons, Love and later Jardine bonded over the piano and harmony groups such as the Four Freshmen. “It kind of reminds me of how close Paul and John were,” Love says of Brian. But things very quickly unravelled. “Unfortunately, there was too much LSD being passed around,” Love says. “I never took it and Bruce never took it. But the Wilsons did. I didn’t like the effect that it was having on things, particularly on Brian because he’s so sensitive. And it really overwhelmed him.”
