\n\tThe Beach Boys<\/a> have cancelled the vast majority of their concerts over the past three months as Mike Love battles a severe health ailment that he\u2019s not yet made public, and by this week, the final remaining show on their 2026 itinerary was a November 13 stop at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Bristol, Virginia. But according to Ticketmaster,<\/a> they\u2019ve just cancelled that one as well, meaning the only remaining concert on their public calendar<\/a> is a makeup date at the River Cree Resort and Casino in Alberta, Canada, on May 8, 2027.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tA new group billing itself as John Stamos and the California Sound<\/a> were swapped in for the Beach Boys at Disney World\u2019s Epcot Center on November 11 and 12. But the November 13 show at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino was simply cancelled. (All acts at Epcot Center play three truncated shows in a single evening. That means the Beach Boys were essentially planning on playing seven concerts in three days.)<\/p>\n

\n\tThroughout late 2025, Beach Boys fans expressed increasing alarm with Love\u2019s increasingly gaunt appearance and raspy singing voice. In February, veteran Beach Boys band member Bruce Johnston, who joined the group in 1965, left the touring band.<\/a> \u201cI am excited to join the Beach Boys for performances on special occasions and will see everyone at the Hollywood Bowl as we celebrate our nation\u2019s 250th birthday!\u201d he told fans. \u201cThis isn\u2019t goodbye, it\u2019s see you soon. I am forever grateful to be a part of the Beach Boys musical legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut Johnston didn\u2019t make an appearance at the Hollywood Bowl. And by the time the tour reached that famous L.A. venue in early July, Love\u2019s appearance was even more alarming. Weeks later, the group pulled 30 concerts. \u201cWe\u2019ve been having a blast out there, and to keep the good vibrations going strong, we\u2019ll be taking a short break to recharge before getting back on the road in September,\u201d Love wrote to fans.<\/a> \u201cThanks for your love \u2014 we can\u2019t wait to see you back out there for a September to Remember.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen September came around, the Beach Boys cancelled even more shows. They finally emerged October 3 for a private event at the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach in Dana Point, California. Photos and brief videos that emerged showed Love performing from a chair. And a week later, they played a pair of shows in Cincinnati and Nashville where Love remained seated all night, barely singing.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe optics of it were just awful and I\u2019m speechless,\u201d Al Jardine told Rolling Stone later that week. <\/a>\u201cObviously, he\u2019s a total pro. He wants to be onstage, but he just doesn\u2019t know how not to do it. He doesn\u2019t know what else to do, so I think he\u2019s trapped.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tJardine has spent the past year touring with veteran members of Brian Wilson\u2019s touring unit he\u2019s named the Pet Sounds Band.<\/a> Johnston and early Beach Boys guitarist David Marks joined them at a special show in Cerritos, California, on October 11.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s not clear if the Beach Boys are going to book any shows in 2027 or keep the May 8 gig in Alberta. It\u2019s also unclear what happens to the Beach Boys name once Love is no longer able to tour or if Stamos and the California Sound are going to play more concerts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Beach Boys have been an active touring band for 65 years with hardly any interruption. They\u2019ve never faced a more uncertain moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Beach Boys have cancelled the vast majority of their concerts over the past three months as Mike…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":679843,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[127717,93,61,60,278],"class_list":["post-679842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-beach-boys","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679842"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679842\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/679843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
