Love to Wilson: You Ain’t No Beach Boy

On-again, off-again reunion appears to be off for the moment.

Well, is he or isn't he? Spinner.com tells us that Beach Boys frontman Mike Love has been suggesting that founding member (and musical architect) Brian Wilson will be reuniting with the band, saying, "We're gearing up for the 50th anniversary and Brian Wilson, who has been working on some unfinished Gershwin music project, will rejoin us."

However, Spinner.com is also telling us now that "such a collaboration is not in the cards," citing a statement by Love on the band's website that reads thusly:

"The Beach Boys continue to tour approximately 150 shows a year in multiple countries. At this time there are no plans for my cousin Brian to rejoin the tour. He has new solo projects on the horizon and I wish him love and success. We have had some discussions of writing and possibly recording together, but nothing has been planned. I, as I'm sure he is, am proud and honored that the Beach Boys music has endured these 50 years, but felt the need to clarify that there are no current 'reunion' tour plans."

Those wacky Beach Boys - ya never know what one of them will say. Love and Wilson have had, shall we say, an on-again, off-again relationship over the years. Stay tuned!
