Overview
- Venues said the Beach Boys cancelled shows scheduled for Sept. 24–27 one day before they were to begin, using language that attributed the moves to “circumstances beyond our control.”
- The group has postponed or cancelled more than 30 Pet Sounds 60 dates and has not performed for roughly two months while Mike Love takes time to “recharge” after unspecified health issues.
- Critics publicly noted Love’s gaunt appearance and weakened singing during a May 30 concert, a review that preceded earlier postponements in June.
- The band’s public schedule still lists an expected return on Oct. 9 in Bloomington, Illinois, but organizers and reporters say further changes are possible given recent disruptions.
- Al Jardine is touring separately with his Pet Sounds Band and has filled some missed dates, and the tour is operating without longtime member Bruce Johnston who left earlier this year.
