Beach Boy Brian Wilson announced today that due to back surgery that he is having within the coming days, he will have to postpone all of his May shows. One of those shows included a Pet Sounds: The Final Performances concert at Clearwater’s Ruth Eckerd Hall on the 18th.
While yes, this is a bummer, health should always come before anything. The last thing I, personally, want is for my favorite composer to go through what my favorite heartland rocker went through. Tom Petty had a broken hip when I saw him almost exactly a year ago, and he died five months later. So, kudos to Brian for taking time off the road to get the help he needs.
