<\/div>\n

The surviving members of the Beach Boys<\/a> have been touring in two competing camps since the bitter conclusion of their 50th-anniversary tour in 2012, but Mike Love<\/a> told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> he is open to the idea of another reunion \u2014 this time for the 60th anniversary. \u201cI\u2019m not against anything like that,\u201d he said. \u201cAnything that\u2019s creative and done for positive reasons is good with me. We will continue thinking about stuff like that and see what we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next year would mark the 60th anniversary of the formation of the group. They debuted with \u201cSurfin’\u201d in December 1961 and released their first album, Surfin\u2019 Safari<\/em>, in October 1962.<\/p>\n

The idea of a 60th anniversary tour first surfaced in March, when Al Jardine<\/a> told Chicago Concert Reviews<\/a> that another reunion tour was a strong possibility. \u201cOh, it will happen,\u201d he said. We\u2019ll probably do about 20 or 30 [shows] together next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Responding to Jardine\u2019s comment, Love told Rolling Stone<\/em>, \u201cHe and I have spoken, but not about that specifically. Al\u2019s a really good singer, but he\u2019s been traveling and performing with Brian Wilson<\/a>, [and] Brian has some serious health issues. We are in a very fortunate and blessed position to be able to do music for a lifetime. It\u2019s pretty amazing. I can remember when my cousin Brian was a young boy. He sang \u2018Danny Boy\u2019 sitting on my Grandma Wilson\u2019s lap. So that\u2019s how far back we go musically.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brian Wilson has yet to comment publicly on the possibility of another reunion. \u201cNo one has spoken to Brian about a 60th Anniversary tour,\u201d Wilson\u2019s manager, Jean Sievers, told Rolling Stone. <\/em><\/p>\n

Wilson postponed his tour last summer due to mental health issues,<\/a> but was soon back on the road and played solo shows as recently as February of this year. An upcoming film, Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road<\/em><\/a> chronicles the last 20 years of Wilson, featuring the songwriter and Rolling Stone<\/em> editor Jason Fine driving around Los Angeles. It also includes new footage of Wilson in the studio with his band and My Morning Jacket\u2019s Jim James.<\/p>\n

The 50th anniversary tour didn\u2019t end well in 2012, after Love unexpectedly announced new tour dates<\/a> for the fall that weren\u2019t part of the reunion. \u201cAs we move on, Bruce and I look forward to performing live for Beach Boys fans everywhere,\u201d Love said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as I know, I can\u2019t be fired \u2014 that wouldn\u2019t be cool,\u201d Wilson told the Los Angeles Times<\/em><\/a>. \u201cThe negativity surrounding all the comments bummed me out. What\u2019s confusing is that by Mike not wanting or letting Al, David [Marks] and me tour with the band, it sort of feels like we\u2019re being fired.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Wilson and Love haven\u2019t performed together since the 2012 tour, they met with the other remaining band members<\/a> for a SiriusXM Q&A session at Capitol Records in Los Angeles in 2018. \u201cBrian and I connect on a pretty primordial level,\u201d Love said after the event. \u201cHe\u2019s got his own band. We\u2019ve got our own. We\u2019re usually on our own trajectories. It\u2019s very nice to get together.\u201d<\/p>\n
