Rock Stars’ reactions to Brian Wilson's death

Rock stars react to Brian Wilson’s death at 82

Brian Wilson was the most musically inventive voice in all of pop, with an otherworldly ear for harmony. He was also the visionary leader of America’s greatest band, The Beach Boys. If there’d been no Beach Boys, there would have been no “Racing In The Street.”

It's good to see all the love that Brian Wilson is getting tonight. Like Sly, he was a true fucking genius. I've meet too many people who couldn't see past — rather, hear past — what The Beach Boys looked like.

RIP Brian Wilson Possibly the songwriter I've listened to the most Heard something the rest of us could not hear, and brought it into the world Subjected to mental illness, abuse, addiction, and the cruelty of the music industry. And moved through it with love and mercy. 🍊📦

Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys was a genius musician. His gift for layering harmony was unsurpassed. He will be missed by us all.

The Beach Boys were the sound of California in the 60s Losing Brian Wilson now is particularly poignant All strength to a beautiful state of sun, surf, and harmonies assaulted by forces of darkness www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

We will all miss Brian Wilson.

I grew up in a house full of music. My folks loved and exposed us to every genre. This song, and many other Beach Boys tunes, brings back so many memories. Thinking of this song, in particular, tonight. youtu.be/AXzepSnKA6Y?...

In their respective genres, it would be hard to pick two more influential musicians and producers of the 60s than Sly Stone and Brian Wilson

Losing Sly Stone and Brian Wilson back to back really is wild, isn’t it

RIP Brian Wilson. Thank you for gifting us the greatest record ever produced.

God speed Brian Wilson. "Pet Sounds" has an argument as best the American album ever made.

Rest in Peace, Brian Wilson.

Brian Wilson. Love and Mercy. It’s what this country needs tonight. See you tomorrow nerds.

We are so saddened by loss of the great Brian Wilson. Brian's music has left a lasting impact on the world of popular music. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this very difficult time. Fly high Brian! 💔💔💔💔💔

RIP, Brian Wilson. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary talents with us all for so many decades. You will never be forgotten. 💔🕯️🎵

My God. My heart is broken. A big part of my childhood 💔 I don’t think there was an artist who meant more to me and influenced my taste in music more than the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson. My first album was Pet Sounds, I was obsessed .My heart goes out to his family and and those who loved him. 💔💔💔💔

Thanks for all the Good Vibrations Brian Wilson… Sail On,Sailor 🌊🌊

Brian Wilson has been a hero and inspiration ever since I was old enough to understand the songs I love so much were created by actual people. I can go on for many pages and paragraphs about what exactly I admire about his music—and perhaps one day I will—but for now I’m just going to mourn. RIP

RIP Brian Wilson.

Been listening to Beach Boys tonight in honor of Brian Wilson. Sonically, "Good Vibrations" is still one of the coolest songs ever and I feel like it must have been absolutely mind blowing when it came out in 1966. "Music can sound... like this?"

“I was lying in my room And the news came on TV A lotta people out there hurtin' And it really scares me Love and mercy, that's what you need tonight So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight.” - Brian Wilson

Zelensky, the ELECTED leader of a free country, should not be expected to kiss the ass of the toddler. His people expect Him to be strong. Trump would have fled where Zelensky stayed and fought. Trump is the worst negotiator

The last good Republican president:

No notes

I wish every single MAGA republican could vanish from this world. They're truly a blight on humanity.

Happy 96th birthday to Dame Patricia Routledge. Nobody could play the "Bucket" woman like her

The atoms of which we're composed will never go away. They existed well before us. They'll exist long after us. We're just a temporary storage facility for such star-stuff. But how cool is it that we can get 50 to 100+ years of atomic material in such a configuration?

O' beautiful, for spacious skies But now those skies are threatening They're beating plowshares into swords For this tired old man that we elected king

My statement on the Israel-Hamas deal:

'Tis a very Merry Christmas

Very grateful to get to celebrate another Christmas on this spinning rock with this man

Eye in the sky. You're looking at the Ring Nebula, the remnant of a star that had the mass of 3 suns and exploded ~4,000 years ago. 🔭 🧪

Reminder that this image is real. From a million miles away, NASA captured Moon crossing face of Earth.

There was always something more important to do, more important to say. But "I love you" wasn't one of those things...and now it's too late.

Happy birthday to the late, great Carl Wilson. The gentlest soul of rock and roll, and the voice of an angel. Born on the winter solstice, with his big bro Brian being born on the summer solstice. God Only Knows what we'd be without you...
