Al Jardine Hopes Beach Boys Family Members Keep Music Alive When He’s Gone

“Honestly, it’s too early for that,” he laughed sardonically. “But why not have the slblings get together to perform?”
A member of one of the greatest rock bands in history is now in the spotlight at the age of 83.
Al Jardine is, of course, a founding member of the Beach Boys, but for most of the band’s six-plus decades, he didn’t get the same public attention as leader Brian Wilson or singer Mike Love.
That has changed since Wilson’s death earlier this year at the age of 82 because Jardine, who toured with Wilson frequently for the last 20 years, is now leading Wilson’s Pet Sounds Band.
As a result, Jardine admits his public profile is higher than it’s ever been, but the attention started even before Wilson’s death in June.
“Rolling Stone promoting how I revived Brian’s band raised a lot of awareness,” Jardine told HuffPost.
