The Beach Boys are pulling the plug on nearly 30 summer shows as frontman Mike Love takes a much-needed break to recharge—coming after a grueling anniversary tour and growing concerns over his vocal health. Critics have noted his voice has faded to a whisper, yet the band soldiered on through July 18th, including a Fourth of July weekend. They’ll resume in late September, hoping to reschedule many dates, though some are gone for good. Al Jardine and his Pet Sounds Band will step in for at least one slot, raising questions about what happens when Love eventually steps back—could Jardine’s group carry on under the Beach Boys name? Licensing and logistics may make that tricky.
