Rolling Stone • • entertainment

Key Points:

  • The Beach Boys have cancelled nearly all their concerts over the past three months due to Mike Love's undisclosed severe health issues, with the last 2026 show at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Virginia also cancelled, leaving only a makeup date in Alberta, Canada, in May 2027 on their public calendar.
  • A new group called John Stamos and the California Sound replaced the Beach Boys at Disney World’s Epcot Center in November, while the Hard Rock Hotel show was outright cancelled, highlighting the band's ongoing tour disruptions.
  • Bruce Johnston, a longtime member since 1965, left the touring band in early 2026 but remains involved for special occasions, though he did not appear at the Hollywood Bowl event as initially planned.
  • Mike Love’s worsening health has visibly impacted performances, with him appearing gaunt and often seated during shows, leading to widespread concern among fans and bandmates, including Al Jardine who expressed sympathy for Love’s difficult situation.
  • The future of the Beach Boys' touring schedule and use of the band name remains uncertain, marking an unprecedented period of instability for a group that has toured almost continuously for 65 years.
