Legendary rock band the Beach Boys is set to mark the 50th anniversary of their album Endless Summer, with the Endless Summer Gold Tour resuming this weekend. They have been on the road amid the release of their first book, The Beach Boys by The Beach Boys, which details their journey from Hawthorne, California, in 1961 to recent times. Sadly, frontman Brian Wilson will likely be absent from the tour due to the loss of his wife, Melinda, and health challenges; however, a good friend and ally of the group, John Stamos, will be making multiple appearances alongside Mike Love, Bruce Johnston, and the rest of the band.
