Brian Wilson: Beach Boys star's family seeks conservatorship due to health issues

The family of Brian Wilson has asked a court in Los Angeles to place the Beach Boys star under a conservatorship.

Court documents obtained by several US media outlets said the musician, 81, was suffering from a "neurocognitive disorder" similar to dementia.

The move comes after Wilson's wife of 28 years, Melinda, died in January.

This is my internet home-away-from-home!

Can’t seem to tear myself away. I believe it was our Skittles who once observed “someone’s always here” - I think it was to encourage another poster for one reason or other. I’ve never forgotten that.

Hugs ALL AROUND!

Sad he's in such a state at this point in time. I hope he is well cared for and that his needs are met.

Saw him in Santa Barbara a few years back, and he and the band killed it. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
