Wilson has passed away at the age of 82 following a battle with dementia, his children revealed in a June 11 social media post.

John Stamos said he was the first to tell Mike Love about the death of the Beach Boys singer's cousin and bandmate Brian Wilson: 'His face went blank.'

Brian Wilson, an eclectic genius whose sunny Beach Boys songs like "God Only Knows" and "Good Vibrations" helped define American pop music, has died.
