Brian Wilson was a true musical genius and a man scarred by drugs and mental challenges. And yet his death at 82 still shocks and saddens all of us who grew up counting on his good vibrations as co-founder of the Beach Boys. His singer daughter Carnie Wilson, of Wilson Phillips, summed up her deep feelings of loss on Instagram. “I have no words to express the sadness I feel right now. My Father @brianwilsonlive was every fiber of my body. He will be remembered by millions and millions until the world ends. I am lucky to have been his daughter and had a soul connection with him that will live on always. I’ve never felt this kind of pain before, but I know he’s resting up there in heaven …or maybe playing the piano for Grandma Audree, his mom. I will post something else soon but this is all my hands will let me type. I love you Daddy….I miss you so much already.”
