Co-founder of the Beach Boys and late musical pioneer Brian Wilson was a true embodiment of a tortured artist, creating some of the most iconic pop songs of all time while suffering through debilitating mental health issues and substance abuse problems that would plague much of his life through the latter half of the 20th century. Wilson suffered his first mental breakdown in the mid-1960s, which led to his departure from touring with his band. He adopted a more background (and reclusive) creative role.
The Beach Boys had such a good sound, that he was behind. I don't think I realized that the nucleus were brothers. I also didn't remember that Wilson-Phillips were his daughters. May he finally R.I.P.
