Brian Wilson's friends and fellow celebrities, including Nancy Sinatra, are remembering the music icon in social media posts.

The late Brian Wilson’s band, the Beach Boys, is well-known for its numerous hits but is occasionally remembered for its brief history with Charles Manson.

The Beach Boys leader was one of pop music’s most acclaimed visionaries, whose creative success was tempered by personal battles.
