What Is Schizoaffective Disorder? Rare Condition Of Beach Boys' Brian Wilson
Last Updated: In 2024, after losing his wife, Melinda Ledbetter, who stayed by his side for almost 30 years, Brian Wilson was diagnosed with a brain condition called Schizoaffective Disorder. Brian Wilson, the founder of the Beach Boys and a legendary songwriter, has died at the age of 82. He became famous as the lead singer and main songwriter for the band. His family shared the news of his passing on social media but did not mention the cause. Throughout his life, Wilson faced many health challenges. In 2024, after losing his wife, Melinda Ledbetter, who stayed by his side for almost 30 years, he was diagnosed with a brain condition, called Schizoaffective Disorder, similar to dementia. Here is a look at his health journey and what fans should know. Taking to Instagram, the singer's family stated, 'We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realise that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy." Brian Wilson started hearing voices in his head when he was quite young. Instead of getting help from a doctor or therapist, he tried to deal with it on his own by using drugs, alcohol and food. Later, he began treatment with a Hollywood therapist named Eugene Landy, who was known for using unusual and strict methods. In 1982, things got so serious that Landy took full control of Wilson's care and even removed him from The Beach Boys so he could focus only on treatment. In a 2006 interview with Ability Magazine, Wilson opened up about how his condition affected his life. He explained, 'For the past 40 years, I've had auditory hallucinations in my head, all day every day, and I can't get them out. Every few minutes, the voices say something derogatory to me, which discourages me a little bit, but I have to be strong enough to say to them, 'Hey, would you quit stalking me? Don't talk to me, leave me alone.' I have to say these types of things all day long. It's like a fight'." 'I was on stage, I could hear voices telling me negative things about myself. Even today, when I sing, I have to force myself not to listen to them. But when the concert is over, the voices come back. I knew right from the start something was wrong. I'd taken some psychedelic drugs, and then about a week after that, I started hearing voices, and they've never stopped. For a long time, I thought to myself, 'Oh, I can't deal with this.' But I learned to deal with it anyway," Brian Wilson added. The Beach Boys singer is survived by his daughters Carnie and Wendy, whom he had with his first wife, Marilyn Lovell. He also has two adopted daughters, Daria and Delanie, from his second marriage. First Published:

Brian Wilson and the bliss of bubble-gum pop
CLEAN-CUT, SMILING, wholesome—the Beach Boys ruled the American airwaves in the early 1960s. Their music was as sunny as a Southern California morning: easy to sing along to, but underlaid by complex harmonies and instrumentation that reward relistening. Brian Wilson—who died on June 11th, aged 82—was one of three brothers in the group and wrote most of their songs. Bob Dylan joked that he should 'will [his ear] to the Smithsonian' and Paul McCartney called 'Pet Sounds', the band's baroque masterpiece, his favourite album. Here are five essential tracks.'Surfer Girl'The pining ('Do you love me? Do you, surfer girl'), extravagant promises ('I will make your dreams come true') and gently modulated harmonies make the Beach Boys sound like the coolest doo-wop group on the quad. Anyone who listens closely to the spiky guitar in the middle section and the wailing vocals at the end will hear a group that both embraced and winked at convention. 'God Only Knows'Mr McCartney called this the greatest song ever written. John Lennon, among others, probably would have disagreed. Still, there is something irresistible about Carl Wilson's ethereal tenor, Brian Wilson's unconventional instrumentation (including sleigh bells, French horns and harpsichord), the lyrics' sweet sentimentality and the way the song seems to come unspooled in the middle before putting itself back together. 'Sloop John B'Many artists recorded this Bahamian folk song about a homesick sailor before it caught Brian Wilson's attention. Johnny Cash performed it as Texan calypso; the Kingston Trio as soft, folky pop. Mr Wilson made something more complex, with both harmonies and instrumentation as swift and precise as a Swiss watch, and—unusually for pop songs of the time—an extended a capella riff in the middle. The lyrics are melancholy, but the Wilson brothers have never sounded happier than when they are pleading to go home. 'Good Vibrations'On its surface, this is a fun, conventional—two verses, a bridge, a chorus—and poppy tune about seeing a pretty girl. But it may be the peak of Mr Wilson's production skills. Heavily layered, it features woodwinds, strings and an electro-theremin. As with so much of their work, people can enjoy it for the band's artistry or simply because it is an earworm. 'Summer's Gone'The musical equivalent of the sun setting into the Pacific, this is the last track on the last Beach Boys album featuring Mr Wilson, released in 2012. Sweetly melancholic and reflective, the harmonies and instrumentation are pared down compared with the band's earlier work, and the lyrics clearly come from someone closer to the end than the start of his life: 'Summer's gone, / Gone like yesterday / The nights grow cold / It's time to go'.
