Overview

  • At age 84 and as the only surviving member of the original lineup, Love will open the Jardins de Terramar festival in Sitges on July 25 and then perform in Roses, Marbella and Cádiz.
  • His recent induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame honors his role in hits such as "Good Vibrations," "California Girls" and "I Get Around," correcting decades of uncredited contributions.
