Brian's health

Brian didn't seem well tonight at Jones Beach, NY. He hardly smiled and looked miserable. Jeff, who is obviously Brian's babysitter, kept giving him concerned looks.

The man has his off nights.  It's the last night of a three night run of shows so it's not surprising.  Let's hope he has a good day off and is ready for the next run of shows.

Apparently, Brian had another procedure to correct his issue with his lower back.

Just posted by Brian on his FB:


Hi all,

I’ve been reading the posts where some of you are concerned about my health in general.

I want to let you know that before the Beach Boys 50th tour started I was having some lower back issues right around the time we performed on the Grammys in February. This is the same type of problem that Carl used to suffer from, it's hereditary. But being able to tour with the Boys again meant so much to me that I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Luckily, I was able to get this new cutting edge procedure that totally worked. But after this last run in Australia it came back and I had the procedure redone this week.

I feel so much better already and can't wait to get back to my second home, London!!

See you soon

Love & Mercy

Brian Wilson

That's nice to hear..

I saw the first few lines on twitter on took a deep breath. I was worried it was going to be something serious regarding Brian's health

he's nowhere near 300 lbs.

This. I bet he is closer to 230 or 240. No big deal for a man of his age.

My dad is 62.  He's about the same height as Brian.  My dad is somewhere around 230 (I think)...he could probably stand to drop a few pounds...but I think it's pretty typical for an older male Baby Boomer.  Brian was far heavier in the early 80s.  I agree, though, that it could help is back problems if he were to loose some weight.

Personally I think it's a good thing that Brian in his advanced years still works.  Everybody should have a job that they love and don't mind doing for the rest of their life... plus in Brian's case since image is such a big part of being a celebrity, I'm sure he keeps it toned down at least a LITTLE bit since he knows the cameras are on him.  Who knows what shape he'd be in if he didn't have to do public appearances!
