Carnie Wilson honours late father Brian Wilson
Brian Wilson's daughter Carnie Wilson has broken her silence on her father's death.
"I have no words to express the sadness I feel right now," she began her post, which she shared alongside a photo of her and her sister, Wendy Wilson.
"My father @brianwilsonlive was every fibre of my body. He will be remembered by millions and millions until the world ends."
The Hold On singer noted how "lucky" she was to have been his daughter and "had a soul connection with him".
"I've never felt this kind of pain before, but I know he's resting up there in heaven, or maybe playing the piano for Grandma Audree, his Mom," wrote Carnie.
"I will post something else soon but this is all my hands will let me type. I love you Daddy. I miss you so much already."
In an Instagram post on 11 June, Wilson's family confirmed that he had died at the age of 82.
No cause of death has been revealed.
Nancy Sinatra, who collaborated with Wilson on her 2002 album California Girls, called singing with the late artist "one of the biggest thrills of my life" in a heartfelt Instagram tribute.
"His cherished music will live forever as he travels through the Universe and beyond," Sinatra captioned the post, alongside a photo of Wilson with his arm wrapped around her. "God bless you, sweet Brian."

WWE's Tiffany Stratton uncorks brutal first pitch at Mets game: ‘Giving 50 Cent a run'
It appears 50 Cent has some competition for worst first pitch at Citi Field. WWE women's world champion Tiffany Stratton threw out the first pitch ahead of Thursday's game between the Mets and Nationals — a 4-3 Amazin's win — when she hilariously sent the pitch sailing way past outfielder Jared Young, who was set to catch the ball behind the plate. Stratton put her arms over her head after the ball went toward the photographers and hit the backstop and Young had to go retrieve it before the WWE star walked off the mound. Advertisement She seemed to take the moment in stride, poking fun at herself on social media, comparing her throw to the one wild one 50 Cent threw in 2014. 'Giving 50 Cent a run for his money,' she wrote on X. Advertisement Tiffany Stratton throws out the first pitch before the Mets' 4-3 win over the Nationals on June 12, 2025. JASON SZENES/NY POST The throw joins a list of celebrity first pitches that missed their marks, with the Queens rapper's being one of the most infamous. Pop star Carly Rae Jepsen famously threw a first pitch right into the turf when she took the mound at Tropicana Field in Tampa ahead of a 2013 Rays game. Former NBA star John Wall nearly took out photographers when he threw out his first pitch during a Nationals game in 2011, but thankfully, former Nats pitcher Drew Storen managed to dive and snag the ball. Advertisement Tiffany Stratton reacts before she throws out the first pitch. JASON SZENES/NY POST And a ceremonial first pitch from UFC star Conor McGregor completely missed the mark when he appeared on the mound before a Cubs game in 2021. Stratton seemed to enjoy her time at Citi Field on Thursday as she sported a custom Mets jersey and blue Mets hat and captioned a pic from the game on her Instagram, 'Put me in @Mets.' The Mets did come away with the win on Thursday, but their ace, Kodai Senga, injured his hamstring during the game and is heading to the IL.

How Mateus Asato changed gears from sideman and Instagram guitarist to fully-fledged artist
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's a truth universally acknowledged that social media can make or break you. In Mateus Asato's case, social media has proven to be a way for him to carve a path to the higher echelons of the music industry, leading to an ever-evolving résumé that includes names like Bruno Mars, Tori Kelly, Jessie J, Joe Satriani, and John Petrucci, as well as a signature guitar with Suhr. However, back in 2016, Asato's role as an A-list sideman left him questioning his future. While traveling to South Korea for a guitar clinic – and confronted with real-life human beings who had discovered him through Instagram and were actually invested in his personal career – he realized there was tremendous potential to switch gears from 'sideman' to 'artist.' 'I had no idea of the impact that these little Instagram videos were having until I actually went to South Korea,' he tells 'There were 500 people there just to see this 'Mateus Asato guy'. That totally changed the game for me: 'Wait a minute, I play for an artist… but also there's a big potential for me to just do my own stuff'.' Working on his own material has been far from easy, however. Discussions with friend and producer Matt Mainhard made him realize that 'it's not okay to just have a list of songs. We gotta have a theme. We gotta have some sort of concept, or something that will tell you where to go'. As for what we can expect from his hotly anticipated debut record, Asato sums it up as, 'The album is definitely a journey through all the sides of Mateus. The Mateus who's a sideman, Mateus as the Instagram boy, and then the Mateus that got more mature over the years. Who developed a different vision regarding music, regarding how I see guitar.' So-called 'Instagram guitarists' have been in hot water recently, with the Giacomo Turra controversy putting into question the lengths some go to to achieve virality and reap the benefits that guitar stardom offers.
