The Beach Boys cancel scheduled comeback shows set to resume in September, with more than 35 dates reportedly called off on their “Pet Sounds 60” tour. Rolling Stone reports the cancellation follows a period in which the band has not performed for more than two months.
The Independent says the latest cancellations are announced the day before the tour was scheduled to resume. Both outlets attribute the decision to frontman Mike Love, who previously postponed dates in the summer and said he needed time to “recharge.” Rolling Stone adds that Love’s need to step back comes after unspecified health problems, though no further details are provided in either report.
While both sources agree on the cancellations and Love’s explanation, they differ mainly in emphasis: Rolling Stone highlights the overall scale of cancelled dates and the longer stretch without performances, while The Independent focuses on the timing of the announcement relative to the planned restart of the tour. Neither outlet provides information about a specific rescheduling plan or a confirmed date for future performances.
