After much speculation towards the end of last year about a full on reunion tour, and then eventually confirming it The Beach Boys have announced their first performance in 20 years at this year’s Grammy awards. Rumour had it that Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson would not be joining the band on tour, but for this performance at The Grammys he will be there at least, which is great news, and it seems Brian Wilson will remain with them for the whole tour and album which is apparently forthcoming.
On the other hand, the band are set to collaborate with Foster The People and Maroon 5 in their performance, who have had two of the most inescapable and annoying radio hits in recent months with “Pumped Up Kicks” and “Moves Like Jagger” respectively. It has not yet been revealed song(s) they will be performing, but if I hear The Beach Boys singing either of those songs I think a part of me might die.
The Grammys are happening this Sunday February 12th in Los Angeles from 8-11.30pm and will be broadcast on NBC.
