Brian Wilson, the co-founder and primary songwriter of the Beach Boys, has died, his family announced. The beloved musical auteur, who helped pioneer the studio-as-instrument, influencing generations of musicians in pop and beyond, was revealed in early 2024 to be living with a neurocognative disorder akin to dementia. Wilson was 82 years old.

Without Brian Wilson there would be no Sargent Peppers. He changed the way music was made.
