Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson, the wildly talented but troubled genius who co-founded the legendary group and composed most of its landmark Pet Sounds album, is suffering from dementia at the age of 81, court filings obtained by Rolling Stone confirm.
In a petition for a conservatorship filed Wednesday in Los Angeles, representatives for the singer-songwriter publicly revealed the magnitude of his cognitive decline for the first time, saying Wilson is “unable to properly provide for his own personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter.” The representatives explain that Wilson’s wife of three decades, Melinda Ledbetter Wilson, had been attending to his daily needs until her death last month.
