The legendary Beach Boys mastermind and singer Brian Wilson is reportedly suffering from dementia.
A representative of the touring company representing the 81-year-old performer, who is one of the most acclaimed songwriters of the 20th century, has said in a court filing that Wilson is suffering from a ‘major neurocognitive disorder (such as dementia),’ according to documents obtained Thursday by The Blast.
In the filing, the hitmaker’s team requests that a conservatorship be set up for the legendary musician to help treat the alleged condition.
The news of Wilson’s condition comes after he suffered a tragedy late last month when his longtime wife Melinda died at age 77.
