Mike Love, the sole remaining original member of The Beach Boys still touring under the group’s name, is facing serious health challenges, John Stamos wrote in a fan update on Sunday, October 11. Stamos, who performs with The Beach Boys, posted a note on Instagram en route to that night’s concert at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
Stamos wrote that Love is “a fighter” who, despite doctors, family and friends urging him to focus on his health, “insists on being on stage.” He did not give specific details about Love’s health condition. “We hope he’ll be doing what he loves for years to come, but we don’t know what the future holds. We have tonight,” Stamos wrote.
Stamos said he had played with Love for 41 years and that the Love he saw on stage “may not be exactly the Mike we’ve always known. But he’s still every bit the Mike we love.”
Tour schedule
In July, the group paused a summer tour to allow Love time to recharge. The announcement affected six weeks of tour dates, totaling nearly 30 shows. The Beach Boys have a limited number of dates currently scheduled, including:
- November 11: Walt Disney World’s Epcot theme park, near Orlando, Fla.
- November 13: Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Bristol, Va.
- May 8, 2027: River Cree Resort and Casino, Enoch, Alberta, Canada
Al Jardine, the only other living member of the classic-era Beach Boys lineup, does not perform with Love’s current Beach Boys formation. He tours as The Pet Sounds Band with members of Brian Wilson’s backing group.
