Just found this: 'Pet Sounds 50th Anniversary celebration & final performance in its entirety. Along with rare
cuts and greatest hits. With a band featuring Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin.

Music legend Brian Wilson has announced a 2016 World tour to celebrate and perform the iconic album Pet Sounds
for a final time, in honour of its 50th anniversary. The UK dates included two nights at the prestigious London Palladium,
with a third night now added due to phenomenal demand.

Originally released on May 16, 1966, Pet Sounds is universally hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time.
With more than 70 dates confirmed, Wilson and his band will be joined by former bandmates Al Jardine and
Blondie Chaplin when they kick off the tour this Spring.

Fans can expect a live performance of Pet Sounds in its entirety, as well as top hits and fan favourites spanning his
54-year career with The Beach Boys and as a solo artist.'

Rest in Peace & thanks.....

Sad news about Brian Wilson. The Beach Boys were a top group of the 1960's. I liked their music.
