The band released a statement noting that while many pop acts are measured by hit songs and album sales, those traditional numbers don’t fully capture the influence of The Beach Boys.

Today, the group is led by Mike Love and features a lineup that includes Brian Eichenberger, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, Jon Bolton, Keith Hubacher, Randy Leago, John Wedemeyer, Chris Cron, and longtime member Bruce Johnston, continuing the legacy of one of the most iconic bands in music history.
