Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Bruce Springsteen pays tribute to 'visionary leader' Brian Wilson

Caption: Bruce Springsteen pays tribute to 'visionary leader' Brian Wilson. On Wednesday, family members announced that the co-founder of the Beach Boys had died at the age of 82. A cause of death wasn't announced, though Brian had been diagnosed with dementia in February 2024. Following the sad news, Bruce took to Instagram on Thursday to issue an emotional statement. ”Brian Wilson was the most musically inventive voice in all of pop, with an otherworldly ear for harmony. He was also the visionary leader of America's greatest band, The Beach Boys. If there'd been no Beach Boys, there would have been no Racing In The Street.” ”Listen to Summer's Gone from The Beach Boys' last album That's Why God Made The Radio and weep.” To conclude, Bruce declared he had "nothing but love and a lovely lasting debt" to the Good Vibrations hitmaker. ”Farewell, Maestro.” In addition, Dolly Parton shared her own message in honour of Brian via Instagram Stories. ”I never was a beach babe, but I loved his music like everybody else. I thought Brian Wilson was a genius, and I still think it.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
