Bruce Johnston
I am Driving My Final Wave With The Seashore Boys
Revealed
Bruce Johnston is using off into the California sundown … a minimum of for now.
The Seashore Boys legend introduced Wednesday he is stepping away from touring after six a long time with the enduring band. The 83-year-old revealed in an announcement to Rolling Stone he’s hanging up his touring hat to concentrate on what he calls half three of his lengthy music profession.
“It is time for Half Three of my prolonged musical profession!” Johnston mentioned. “I can write songs without end, and wait till you hear what’s coming!!! As my main expertise past singing is songwriting, now could be the time to get critical once more.”
Johnston famously stepped in for co-founder Brian Wilson in 1965 for dwell performances, turning into a staple of the Seashore Boys’ touring lineup ever since. Now, he says he is shifting gears towards songwriting and even some talking engagements … with occasional touring member John Stamos serving to him craft what he’ll speak about onstage.
“I’d even sing ‘Disney Women’ & ‘I Write The Songs!!'” he teased.
However do not name it a full-on farewell tour simply but. Johnston made it clear he is not shutting the door fully, saying he is excited to reunite with the band for particular events, together with their upcoming July 2-4 exhibits on the Hollywood Bowl as a part of the Seashore Boys’ 2026 tour. The run celebrates each the sixtieth anniversary of “Pet Sounds” and America’s 250th birthday.
“This is not goodbye, it is see you quickly,” he wrote. “I’m without end grateful to be part of the Seashore Boys musical legacy.”
