Brian Wilson, the co-founder of the legendary group The Beach Boys, has died at the age of 82 due to a disorder similar to dementia, according to Pitchfork.
He formed the band, which was then called the Pendletones, as a teenager, and later released the hit song, “Surfin’ U.S.A.” when they signed with Capitol Records.
In 1988, Wilson and The Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Wilson garnered two Grammy Awards, and the band was honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001.
The group has released 29 studio albums, 11 live albums, 56 compilation albums, and 75 singles.
