Brian Wilson has a message for fans who have heard rumors about a problem with his health: Don't worry, baby.

This is one of those duets that kind of slipped through the cracks.  In 2002, Paul McCartney made an appearance at a Brian Wilson show.  The two teamed up to sing the Beach Boys classic 'God Only Knows'.

It took 45 years, but the most famous unreleased album in rock history finally became a pretty good five CD adventure with the release of the Beach Boys ‘Smile’ last month. Brian Wilson says he’s happy with the finished product, and he knows why the band wasn’t able to finish it back in 1966.

Brian Wilson was on hand at 'Fingerprints Records' in Long Beach, California on November 1st to sign copies of the new 'Smile Sessions' release for fans.  Capitol Records turned the store into a real life version of the album cover for the event on the day of it's release, and fans lined up to meet Brian and get his autograph.

The Beach Boys' 'Smile Sessions' will be released in just a few days on November 1st. Brian Wilson is obviously pleased that the work is finally seeing the light of day.

Stebbins explores the relationships between the Wilson brothers, and other members of the band, especially Mike Love. He talks about Brian Wilson's inspiration being his brother Dennis, who was not only

The Beach Boys' musical genius Brian Wilson is 69 years old (June 20th). The term genius is not used lightly in this case. Between 1962 and 1967, Brian produced 22 top 40 hits.

On many of the Beach Boys records, Brian would sing each part to the band members to show them their individual m

In a recent interview Brian Wilson said he is considering touring with the Beach Boys for their 50th anniversary. Previously he was opting out, but now he says there's nothing preventing him from doing it.

The Beach Boys' limited edition vinyl single, just released for National Record Store Day, is now available online. All proceeds from the single will benefit the American Red Cross for Japan earthquake relief.

April 6th marks 46 years since the Beach Boys began recording their smash hit and signature song 'California Girls'. Brian Wilson wrote the music and used studio musicians to lay down the instrumental tracks before even calling in the rest of the band to sing their trademark harmony.
