Beach Boys Announce 50th Anniversary Reunion Tour
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK (AP) — It's almost winter, but get ready for some surf and sun: The Beach Boys are reuniting.

The founding members of the classic rock group — Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine — announced Friday they are getting back together to celebrate their 50th anniversary. They're working on a new album and also plan a 50-date tour that will take them around the world.

Wilson said in a statement that he misses "the boys" and it will be a thrill to be on stage with them again.

The group also includes Bruce Johnston and David Marks, who had been with the band for decades.

The Beach Boys first concert is scheduled for April 27 at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

I saw brian and al do "pet sounds" in its entirety a few years ago. Live music at full concert volume > 3" clock radio speaker.

The band that has been touring under that name has not been cutting it for a long time. It is encouraging to hear that Brian is well enough to even consider taking this on. I would go see the show with the original lineup.

My favorite pop Christmas song is Wilson's "Little St. Nick". I'd love to see the Boys, the real ones that is.
