Bruce Johnston
I am Using My Final Wave With The Seashore Boys
Revealed
Bruce Johnston is using off into the California sundown … at the least for now.
The Seashore Boys legend introduced Wednesday he is stepping away from touring after six a long time with the long-lasting band. The 83-year-old revealed in an announcement to Rolling Stone he’s hanging up his touring hat to concentrate on what he calls half three of his lengthy music profession.
“It’s time for Part Three of my lengthy musical career!” Johnston stated. “I can write songs forever, and wait until you hear what’s coming!!! As my major talent beyond singing is songwriting, now is the time to get serious again.”
Johnston famously stepped in for co-founder Brian Wilson in 1965 for stay performances, changing into a staple of the Seashore Boys’ touring lineup ever since. Now, he says he is shifting gears towards songwriting and even some talking engagements … with occasional touring member John Stamos serving to him craft what he’ll discuss onstage.
“I might even sing ‘Disney Girls’ & ‘I Write The Songs!!'” he teased.
However do not name it a full-on farewell tour simply but. Johnston made it clear he isn’t shutting the door fully, saying he is excited to reunite with the band for particular events, together with their upcoming July 2-4 exhibits on the Hollywood Bowl as a part of the Seashore Boys’ 2026 tour. The run celebrates each the sixtieth anniversary of “Pet Sounds” and America’s 250th birthday.
“This isn’t goodbye, it’s see you soon,” he wrote. “I am forever grateful to be a part of the Beach Boys musical legacy.”
