John Stamos Shares Emotional Moment Breaking News of Brian Wilson’s Death to Mike Love
I just came across a deeply moving story involving John Stamos, Mike Love, and the late, great Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. It's one of those behind-the-scenes moments that reminds you how much real emotion lives behind the music we’ve all grown up with.
John Stamos recently shared with ABC News the heartbreaking moment he had to tell Mike Love—his bandmate and cousin of Brian Wilson—that Wilson had passed away. It happened on June 11, 2025. Stamos and Love were at an airport when John got the devastating text. He said, “I had to tell him... and I’ve never seen him that quiet. He just shut down.” That image alone says so much. These are two men who have been through a lifetime of ups and downs in the spotlight, and yet the loss of a family member and musical partner brought a silence no words could fill.
Brian Wilson, the creative force behind so much of the Beach Boys’ iconic sound, was 82. His influence is hard to overstate. Stamos described Wilson as “the biggest genius that ever walked this earth,” a sentiment shared by countless musicians and fans. Yet, in this story, we also get a glimpse into the mutual respect between Wilson and Mike Love—something not always visible to the public. According to Stamos, Brian would often make sure people knew when Mike had written or contributed to a song. There was real acknowledgment, despite whatever myths may swirl around their partnership.

Mike Love reflected on Wilson’s genius, especially when talking about the album Pet Sounds . He said the music was so intricate, so advanced, that it left him in awe—adding that he’d be out in the hallway writing lyrics while Brian built the musical landscapes. That kind of synergy is rare.
And then, there was a beautiful nod from another legend—Elton John. Mike Love mentioned that Elton said he believes Pet Sounds might be the only album that will be played forever. Coming from Elton John, that’s no small praise. It speaks volumes about Brian’s lasting impact on music and culture.
This all took place just one day after Wilson’s passing, during the 2025 Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, where Mike Love was being honored. Stamos performed with him that night, a tribute both to Love’s songwriting legacy and, indirectly, to Wilson’s monumental contribution to music history.
It's moments like this that remind us that behind the fame and the hits, there are real relationships, raw emotions, and deep histories. Brian Wilson wasn’t just a genius. He was a cousin, a collaborator, a friend—and his loss is being felt profoundly by those who knew him best.
