“We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now,” his family wrote in an Instagram post.

Mike Love was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame last Thursday night, just one day after it was announced that his inimitable bandmate Brian Wilson had died.

During his high school years, Wilson formed a group known as The Pendeltones, which would later become The Beach Boys, alongside his brothers, their cousin, Mike Love, and a classmate, Al Jardine.
