The Beach Boys Cancel Yet Another Planned Comeback Concert
Rolling Stone • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The Beach Boys have canceled their October 9 show at Grossinger Motors Arena in Bloomington, Illinois, citing "unforeseen circumstances," continuing a pattern of recent cancellations linked to Mike Love's health issues.
- Mike Love has been dealing with physical and emotional challenges, including recovery from bronchitis, COVID, and the loss of close family members, which has affected his performance and led to multiple show postponements since June.
- The group last performed publicly on July 18, with subsequent scheduled concerts in September canceled without explanation, though they reunited for a private show on October 3 in Dana Point, California.
- Despite recent cancellations, upcoming concerts in Cincinnati, Nashville, and Calgary remain scheduled, with no official comment yet from the band's representatives.
