Good find Sheriff. His Wikipedia page has yet to be updated.

Good find Sheriff. His Wikipedia page has yet to be updated. Same goes for Floyd Sneed, the drummer on Three Dog Night's hits. One tends to become circumspect with all the fake death reports flying about.

Several venues have announced their summer schedules, and the Beach Boys are a part of a few I've seen. They are in the headlines for the Hollywood Bowl, the Asbury Park NJ Sea.Hear.Now festival, and the Walla Walla (WA) fair.
They are listed beside artists like the Foo Fighters and Janet Jackson for these shows and festivals. It's really astounding that a band with 60 years of history is still that kind of draw.
The latter show's announcement is interesting in that it says "Original members who are still with the band include Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine." Either the fine folks at the East Oregonian know more than we do or (obviously more likely) they messed up.

I'll be interested to see if The Beach Boys include any CATP / Holland gems to promote the SOS box.
Speaking of The Beach Boys, tonight is the Grammy Salute. I'll be interested to see if any current or former band members show up.

I'll bet the CATP/Holland promotion is over with and won't get any particular focus. Maybe if they do "Sail On Sailor," Mike will mention it was a part of the most recent collection. But I wouldn't bet on anything beyond that.
As for the Grammys tribute, I am interested to hear anything about it. Does news about these sorts of things typically leak? I know they're keeping the performances for a later TV special, so I assume they try not to let out much in the line of footage or info.

At the very least, fans who attend the show might post reviews.

I could see All This is That being played a little more regularly, and maybe even California Saga: California. They did include a couple Sunflower / Surf's Up tracks when Feel Flows was released.

Then Mike and co. would have played a few of the songs in their sets. By summer, it will be time for a new SOS/GH release.

If Brian can celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Pet Sounds through 2017, Mike and Bruce can promote a Dec 2022 release in the summer of 2023.

R.I.P. Ron Altbach (December 24, 1946 - February 22, 2023). A few months ago, Ron was featured on Beach Boys Talk and did not mention any health concerns at that time. I enjoyed Ron's work with King Harvest (on "Dancing In The Moonlight"),with Celebration, and, of course, with The Beach Boys (especially on the M.I.U. Album).
Mike Love paid tribute to Ron on his Instagram page:

That's horrible news. As you said, he didn't mention or seem to be suffering any obvious health problems when he was on BBT, so it's quite a surprise. Mike's post mentions a coma: perhaps a stroke, accident, or something sudden was involved.
RIP Ron Altbach. From that interview, he seemed like a really good person.
