Brian Wilson, Beach Boys Founder, Placed Under Conservatorship

Troubled Genius, Wildly Talented Musician

Brian Wilson, the co-founder and musical genius behind the legendary band The Beach Boys, has been placed under a conservatorship following a court ruling in California. The 81-year-old musician and songwriter is one of the most influential figures in rock and roll history, known for his innovative compositions and complex personality.

A Life of Triumph and Turmoil

Wilson's life has been marked by both extraordinary triumphs and personal struggles. As the co-founder and chief songwriter of The Beach Boys, he penned some of the most iconic hits of the 1960s, including "Good Vibrations" and "Pet Sounds." However, he has also battled mental health issues and drug addiction throughout his career.

The conservatorship, which gives Wilson's wife and a close friend control over his personal and financial affairs, was granted by a judge in response to concerns about his well-being. The decision comes after a long legal battle between Wilson and his family over his care.
