Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson is asking fans to boycott the band he helped start because of a coming performance at a hunting event in Nevada.
According to a convention program, tickets to Trump's speech cost $135 per person. Tickets for the Beach Boys are $115 each.
Wilson founded the Beach Boys in 1961 with two brothers and Love, his cousin. Before suffering a breakdown in 1964, he wrote such iconic hits as"Surfin' USA" and"I Get Around." He later wrote the band's celebrated album"Pet Sounds" but struggled for decades with drugs and mental illness. Wilson toured with the group sporadically from the 1960s to the 1990s, but the original surviving members have toured together only once since 1965, to celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2012. Wilson has released several albums as a solo artist.
