Paul Wallis offers some interesting medical news regarding Brian Wilson. To the best of my knowledge, it's not accurate at all.
So that tune that won’t get out of your head is pretty normal. They’re right, though, about the vocal effects. Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys had a stroke which affected his speech centers, but he started playing again, with some help of his daughters. There was a documentary I saw, where the minute he began to sing familiar songs, his vocals, which had been slurring when he spoke, returned to Beach Boys level. It was quite unforgettable.
