Here's what we know so far about Brian Wilson's death.
Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys and one of the most influential figures in pop music history, died on June 11, 2025, at the age of 82. His family confirmed the news through his official website and social media channels. Details of the cause of death remain unknown.
Since May 2024, a court had placed Wilson under conservatorship for his personal and medical care. Publicist Jean Sievers and manager LeeAnn Hard oversaw his affairs. He was the last surviving of the three Wilson brothers: Brian, Carl and Dennis, who helped launch the Beach Boys.
The Beach Boys released over 30 Top 40 hits and sold more than 100 million records worldwide. Pet Sounds, their 1966 album, ranked No. 2 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums. Paul McCartney said the album directly influenced Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and called 'God Only Knows' one of his all-time favorite songs.
Wilson stopped touring in 1964 due to a nervous breakdown and focused on studio work. He wrote and produced complex arrangements influenced by Phil Spector's Wall of Sound. His single 'Good Vibrations' became the Beach Boys' first million-seller. Wilson later abandoned his ambitious 'Smile' project in 1967 but completed it decades later.
Wilson battled mental illness and addiction for decades. Doctors diagnosed him with schizoaffective disorder, and therapist Eugene Landy treated him until a court order limited Landy's control. Wilson divorced his first wife, then married Melinda Ledbetter in 1995 and had two daughters. Ledbetter died in 2024.
He won two Grammy Awards and entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. In 2012, he reunited with the surviving Beach Boys for their 50th anniversary tour. In 2018, his high school upgraded his music grade from an 'F' to an 'A.'

Huma Abedin Is Married! Inside the Final Fittings of Her Givenchy and Erdem Wedding Dresses
Shortly after the engagement party the couple decided they'd have two ceremonies in the Hamptons: a small one with family and close friends to sign the Nikah in honor of Abedin's Muslim faith and the Ketubah in honor of Soros's Jewish heritage, and a larger celebration the following day inclusive of a cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. For the smaller gathering, 'I'm wearing this ethereal, unbelievable Erdem dress,' Abedin says. She fell in love with the label about a decade ago while working in D.C. 'I had to give a very, very stressful testimony on Capitol Hill, and I was very nervous about it,' she says. 'I wanted to feel and look my best. I remember going into [a] store and finding the most extraordinary black dress with white floral on it. It was Erdem.' At first, Abedin was a little overwhelmed by the task of deciding on her wedding looks—but she felt wholly at ease during her first appointment with Moralıoğlu, which was held in February at Erdem's London atelier. 'The minute I walked in, I just felt very relaxed,' Abedin recalls. 'He had so much love, care and attention in the way he approached me.' Moralıoğlu, who also dressed Abedin for the 2024 Met Gala, presented Abedin with a series of sketches he had drawn based on references she shared during a previous conversation—among them Grace Kelly's wedding dress. The belt of Abedin's Givenchy dress was adjusted to sit slightly higher on the silhouette. Photographed by Carl Timpone Despite initially planning to forego a veil, Abedin fell in love with a custom Givenchy shroud. Photographed by Carl Timpone 'During the initial fitting, we explored different silhouettes to help define the shape and understand how she wanted to feel in the dress,' the designer says. Several Zoom meetings and a handful of custom swatch options later, they landed on a 1930s-esque long-sleeve silhouette, marked by a high neck and a delicate bow around the waist. 'For the fabric, we selected a beautiful French Chantilly lace—crafted in a historic mill in Caudry, dating back to 1840—and mounted it on a smooth Italian silk crepe. We wanted the lace to feel light and delicate, capturing a sense of movement as she walks.' Hidden details imbue the gown with more sentimental touches. 'The thing that made me gasp when I saw the dress is that [Moralıoğlu] embroidered my father's name in Arabic, inside, right by my heart,' Abedin says. 'My father passed away in 1993 and he was a very instrumental person in my life. I think about him every day.' Abedin and Soros's initials are also embroidered inside the dress, in light blue thread on a delicate ribbon, as the bride's something blue. 'The entire process felt incredibly collaborative and seamless,' Moralıoğlu says, '[and] the dress is everything we had envisioned—graceful, classic, and quietly powerful. It is a joy to be a small part of Huma's special day.'
