from Last Days Hosted by TMZ

On July 2, 1942, Brian Wilson — the visionary force behind The Beach Boys and one of the most influential figures in American music — was born in Hawthorne, California. With groundbreaking albums like Pet Sounds and lush, intricate harmonies that defined the California sound, Wilson's genius reshaped pop music, even as he faced lifelong battles with mental illness and substance abuse. His turbulent journey through fame, isolation, and eventual resurgence is as haunting as it is inspiring, with his timeless melodies standing as a testament to both his brilliance and resilience. Hosts: Jason Beckerman & Derek Kaufman
