Beach Boys Co-Founder Brian Wilson Granted Conservatorship Due to Mental Decline

Judge Approves Petition Filed by Wilson's Family

Los Angeles, California – February 16, 2024

In a hearing held at the Los Angeles Superior Court, Judge Gus T. May has granted a conservatorship for 81-year-old Brian Wilson, co-founder and musical genius behind the legendary Beach Boys.

The petition was filed by Wilson's family, who expressed concerns about his declining mental health. In 2022, Wilson was diagnosed with major neurocognitive disorders, including dementia. His medical records indicate that he is currently under medical care and taking medication for his condition.

The court ruling allows Wilson's family to manage his financial affairs, medical decisions, and personal care. This decision comes in light of Wilson's long-standing struggles with substance abuse and exploitation by unscrupulous individuals.

Despite his challenges, Wilson remains an iconic figure in music history. His songwriting and production skills have had a profound impact on popular culture.
